HyperWorksEngineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver
technology.
The Crash application offers a tailored environment in HyperWorks that efficiently steers the Crash CAE specialist in CAE model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with
a runnable solver deck in Radioss, LS-DYNA and PAM-CRASH 2G.
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing
tasks efficiently.
The Drop Test Manager is an automated solution that allows you to either simulate a single drop test or a choice of
multiple iterations with the aim of finding the sensitivity of process variables like initial orientation and drop
height in a typical drop test by controlling the run parameters and conditions with ease.
Many essential utility tools using HyperWorks-Tcl have been developed over the years to support Aerospace customers. A few tools have been collected and upgraded to
be compatible with this release.
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in Engineering Solutions by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based format, and providing controls inside the table
that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
Use the Drape Estimator to generate, directly into HyperMesh, draping angles and thickness variations resulting from the manufacturing process of fibers associated with plies
in a composite laminate.
Kinematic Drape provides methods to predict manufacturability of composite parts with challenging shapes and to align
material direction for the structural simulation. Draping simulation predicts how the orientation of a ply will change
as the ply is placed in a tool/mold.
The HyperWorks Material Library is a database that stores engineering material information to ensure that material properties used
in simulations are up-to-date and accurate, and provides standardization of material data across an organization.
Material Library provides rapid access to material information required by analysts which can be loaded into a session
to aid with simulation setup. The material library can store information on all material attributes for multiple solvers
at a time. Information can be seamlessly imported into HyperMesh, eliminating the need to locate required information and removing errors associated with manually entering
data.
The Utility menu contains options that allow you to customize the standard interface to include function buttons, radio options, and
text that have Engineering Solutions-supplied and user-defined macros associated with them.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.

This dialog opens when you select Move To Include from the
Model Browsercontext menu.
Several options allow you to specify the details of what is added to the include:
Move to
Use this drop down list box to either select one of the existing include
files in the model, or create a new one with the name New Include.
Create New
When entities like mass elements or nodal rigid bodies are moved to the
new include as part of selected self-contained entities, they may
originate from different components. To help in visualization functions
such as Show or Hide, additional options help organize the selected
entities by creating new components or collectors to assign the moved
entities to.
Choose Components to help in visualization for
Show/Hide and similar functions when these entities originate from
different components, they need to be grouped together in an Engineering Solutions component. This option creates new comps if only
a portion of the content needs to be moved. A new component is created
with a prefix Partially isolate. You can use the checkboxes to determine
which types of entities will trigger the creation of a new
component.
Choose Collectors to create new collectors if
entities are being moved to the include. You can use the checkboxes to
determine which types of entities will trigger the creation of a new
component.
Avoid Moving
Use these options to address situations where the you may have a master
include file for material and load curves, and do not want some cards to
be moved to the include along with their associated entities.
Choose Material and their associate Load Curves
to not move the materials to the new include even if they are used only
by the components being moved.
Choose Properties to not move property cards to
the include.
