View new features for Engineering Solutions 2020.1.
HyperWorks Engineering Solutions is a modeling and visualization environment for NVH, Crash, CFD, Drop Test and Aerospace using best-in-class solver technology.
Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive tutorials.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
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.
Currently supported solver interface versions.
Load a different solver interface in Engineering Solutions.
Engineering Solutions uses three types of external interfacing.
Overview of the Abaqus Interface.
Overview of the ANSYS interface.
Overview of the LS-DYNA interface.
Overview of the Nastran interface.
Overview of the PAM-CRASH 2G interface.
Overview of the OptiStruct interface.
Overview of the Radioss interface.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
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.
Learn the basics of working with browsers.
Use the Assembly Browser to manage parts and modules during the assembly building process.
Use the Connector Browser to view and modify connectors in the current model.
Use the Contact Browser to create, review and modify contact interfaces and surfaces in a model.
The Entity Editor enables you to quickly view and edit entities in a model and correctly setup solver information.
Use the Entity State Browser to set various states for entities in a model.
Use the Loadsteps Browser to create, manage and display loadsteps (sub-cases) and the associated control cards.
In the Mask Browser, set the mask/unmask state for entities at the entity configuration level.
Use the Mass Trimming tool to create, define and realize mass entities.
Use the Matrix Browser to explore the HyperMesh and HyperView data entities and export the entities to external files for further analysis.
Use the Model Browser to view the model structure while providing full find, display and editing control of entities.
Check the solver validity of the model, identify modeling issues, and fix modeling issues in an automatic or manual way.
Use the Part Browser to create, organize and manage the CAE part structure/hierarchy.
Use the query builder to find and filter entities by building advanced filters for attributes listed in browser columns.
Use the Part Browser context menu to invoke key functions and visualization options. Options vary based on the entity type selected.
Edit part and component attributes in the Entity Editor.
The Part Browser can be used to batch the model build workflow.
In addition to importing and exporting, HyperMesh allows setting-up analysis conditions required to run a simulation in Abaqus solver. Almost all required analysis conditions such as contacts, constraints, analysis step definition, and output requests can be set-up via the imported Abaqus parts and instances format input files.
The Reference Browser enables you to quickly understand complex relationships between different entities that constitute the model.
The Solver Browser provides a solver centric view of the model structure in a flat, listed tree structure.
Create, organize and manage the CAE subsystem level models using any entities.
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.
Use the Visualization controls to change many of the visual states in Engineering Solutions and HyperView.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
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.
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Setup an Optimization in Engineering Solutions.
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
Study relationships between data vectors in results files.
Learn how to use post-processing functions.
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.
