Common Use Cases for Setting Up a Study
How you use HyperStudy depends on your model type, your simulation software and your design objectives among other factors. You can use HyperStudy as a standalone software or you can start it from another HyperWorks product.
| Study Question or Scenario | Best HyperStudy Option |
|---|---|
| I have a Radioss model that I want to do a size/shape optimization study with. I will run the simulations in my PC. | Once you have finished creating your shape variables using the morphing tools in HyperWorks, start HyperStudy from HyperWorks's Applications menu. Your model type is HyperMesh. |
| I have a MotionSolve model. I will run the simulations in my PC. | Start HyperStudy from MotionView's Applications menu. Your model type is MotionView. |
| I am using a commercial solver that is not in HyperWorks, but it integrates with HyperWorks (Abaqus, LS-DYNA, DesignLife, and so on.). I would like to set up a size optimization study and will run the simulations in a cluster. | Start HyperStudy in standalone mode. Your model type is Parameterized File. Create the parameterized file, which can be done using the HyperStudy Editor. Register the solver using the Register Solver Script option. |
| I did my analysis in a spreadsheet. Some of the cells are input variables and some are output responses. | Start HyperStudy in standalone mode. Your model type isSpreadsheet. |
| I calculated my output responses using analytical equations. | Start HyperStudy in standalone mode. Your model type is Internal Math. |
