Create Geometry Data
If geometry is not available from a CAD system, you can create or edit geometry in HyperMesh.
- Create and edit lines.
-
Create and edit surfaces.
Option Description Surfaces Create surfaces from existing lines or nodes by different methods, such as spline, drag, or spin. Primitives Create standard shaped surfaces or solid entities, including squares, spheres, cones, and cylinders. Surface Edit Edit existing surfaces by trimming, extending, or shrinking. Defeature Edit existing surfaces by removing individual features such as holes or fillets. -
Create and edit points and nodes.
Option Description Nodes Create new nodes. Several methods are available. Temp Nodes Add or remove nodes used only for geometry creation or editing.
Create NURBS Surfaces
A NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline) surface is a parametric surface defined by control points, knots and weights.
The tolerance setting on the Options panel is used to determine the intersections between lines. If the tolerance is too small and an intersection cannot be found, HyperMesh reports an error when you attempt to create the surface.
