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.
