Solver Panel
Use the Solver panel to run an external program from within HyperLife Weld Certification or assign and run a solver on selected analysis decks.
You can run linear static and Lanczos eigenvalue extraction solutions through a sparse matrix finite element solver. The solver is incorporated in OptiStruct's topology optimization software serving as the core solver for finite element solutions and is fully benchmarked using the standard MacNeil/Harding tests to ensure correct element formulation.
