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.
Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Finite Point Method (FPM) is a technique used to analyze bodies that do not have
high cohesive forces among themselves and undergo large deformation, such as liquids and gases.
1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can
be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts
or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell
meshing.
The Element Quality view allows you to investigate each specific element criteria, view a breakdown of all failed
and worst elements, resolve all criteria violations at one time, and evaluate the over all quality of a mesh.
The Solid Mesh Optimization tool can be used to improve the quality of a tetra, hexas, and second order meshes with
respect to several element criteria.
Penetration is defined as the overlap of the material thickness of shell elements, while intersection is defined as
elements that actually pass completely through one another.
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.
Element Quality View
The Element Quality view allows you to investigate each specific element criteria, view a breakdown of all failed and worst elements, resolve all criteria violations at one time, and evaluate the over all quality of a mesh.
Check Element Quality
After you build your model, check the quality of the elements in the model.
Create Mesh Quality Report
Create an HTML mesh quality report for the current model or for multiple models.
Review Shell Thickness
The Thickness view allows you to investigate the shell thicknesses in your model.
Solid Mesh Optimization
The Solid Mesh Optimization tool can be used to improve the quality of a tetra, hexas, and second order meshes with respect to several element criteria.
Check for Element Penetrations/Intersections
Penetration is defined as the overlap of the material thickness of shell elements, while intersection is defined as elements that actually pass completely through one another.
