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.

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.
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.
The QA Utility menu contains many tools to help you quickly review and clean up the quality of a pre-existing mesh.
In the Disp Utility menu, clear temporary nodes if needed.
This menu contains a set of macros related to working with model geometry, as well as a set for working with FE mesh.
Use the Preserve Edges macro to ensure that specific component edges and feature lines do not accidentally get discarded during autocleanup or batch meshing.
Use this macro to project geometric points, such as weld points, to nearby edges.
The Auto Connectors macro automates the importation and FE realization of connectors from either a Master Connectors File or an older Master Weld File.
The Quick TetraMesh macro quickly creates a tetramesh of an enclosed volume defined by geometry and/or elements.
This macro improves element quality by moving the mid-edge nodes of second order elements.
Use the Add Washer utility to create one or more layers of washer elements around a circular hole in an existing mesh.
Create a circular hole of a given radius in the mesh at a node specifying the center of the hole, as well as specify a number of layers of washer elements to include.
The Fill Hole function fills in one or more holes in your geometry with automatically-generated mesh.
Use the Box Trim utility to trim the model, or selected subset, along the global axis to fit the selected 3D box.
Use this utility to add a bead between two points in a mesh.
Use this tool to modify an existing tetramesh, either by moving nodes or remeshing, to meet required parameters.
Macros are included on the Abaqus page of the Utility menu when you load the Abaqus user profile.
The macros on the ANSYS Utility menu simplify some common tasks for the ANSYS user profile.
The LS-DYNA Utility menu contains shortcuts and tools that can help simplify LS-DYNA tasks. Set the user profile from the User Profiles option of the Preferences menu.
