    The title bar displays the name of the file that is currently opened, along with the active product and user profile.
  - Menu Bar
    The menu bar contains pull-down menus that provide access to standard functions such as file management operations, system preferences, and help.
  - Toolbars
    Each toolbar contains a group of icon buttons that provide access to common tools.
  - Tab Area
    The tab area organizes browsers, Utility menus for the solver interfacing user profiles, and other functionality not shown in the panel area in different tabs.
  - Modeling Window
    The modeling window displays your model, geometry and plots.
  - Search and Find Engineering Solutions Tools
    Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the menu bar pull-downs or from the Utility Browser, as well as create solver cards.
  - Panels
    Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
  - Status Bar
    The status bar displays information pertaining to the currently loaded model as well as descriptions of the pages and panels.
  - Undo-Redo
    Undo and redo actions performed in Engineering Solutions.
  - Display Controls
    Control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
    - View Options
      View options allow you to define how geometry and graphics are displayed in the modeling window.
    - Rotate, Pan, Zoom, Fit, Center
      Adjust your view of the model in the modeling window.
    - Reverse View
      Set the view to the "reverse" of the current view.
    - Return to Previous View
      Return the modeling window to the view before a rotation, zoom, center or other viewing manipulation was performed.
  - Visualization Controls
    Use the Visualization controls to change many of the visual states in Engineering Solutions and HyperView.
  - Input Controls
    Input controls allow you to manipulate your methods of entering and controlling different aspects of Engineering Solutions.
  - Work with Files
    Engineering Solutions requires the use of different types of data files, from its own database files which contain data on model geometry, mesh, loads, boundary conditions, and so on, to property cards, master weld files and many more.
- Preferences
  Configure the view and behavior of Engineering Solutions.
Tutorials
Discover Engineering Solutions functionality with interactive tutorials.
NVH
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is an important vehicle attribute that directly affects the customer experience.
Crash
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.
CFD
HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing tasks efficiently.
Drop Test
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.
Aerospace
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.
Current Supported Versions
Currently supported solver interface versions.
Change Solver Interfaces
Load a different solver interface in Engineering Solutions.
Types of Interfacing
Engineering Solutions uses three types of external interfacing.
Abaqus Interface
Overview of the Abaqus Interface.
ANSYS Interface
Overview of the ANSYS interface.
LS-DYNA Interface
Overview of the LS-DYNA interface.
Nastran Interface

Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
CAD Interfaces
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
Browsers
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.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Geometry

Model Verification
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.
Model Setup
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morphing
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in Engineering Solutions.
Conversion Between Solver Formats
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
