Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in HyperMesh 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.
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.
Free Body Diagram (FBD) utilities facilitate the extraction and post-processing of
grid point force results.
FBD extractions are typically utilized for breakout and/or sub-modeling analysis
schemes, where balanced "free body" sub-cases are extracted from a coarse grid model
and applied to a fine grid sub-model for eventual optimization and/or analysis. FBD
is also used to extract cross-sectional resultant forces and moments, typically at
the centroid of a cross-section, for use in traditional strength calculations.
Review Load Collectors
Graphically review and manage the load collectors generated from all FBD and Resultant Force and Moment utilities.
Export Load Collectors
Export FBD, Displacement, and/or Resultant Force and Moment load collectors generated by other FBD utilities.
Review Grid Point Force Balance
The Grid Point Force Balance table is the data around which all FBD-Forces and Resultant Force and Moment utility calculations are performed.
FBD Solver Interfacing
The Free Body Diagram utilities behave differently depending on the solver that you interface with in HyperMesh.
