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.
A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that
may be used in automatic mesh generation.
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in
automatic tetra and solid meshing.
A face is a single Non-uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) and is the smallest area entity. It has a separate underlying
mathematical definition, specified when it was created.
Many essential utility tools using HyperWorks-Tcl have been developed over the years to support Aerospace customers. A few tools have been collected and upgraded to
be compatible with this release.
Points and Nodes
Learn about creating, editing, and extracting points and nodes.
Shapes
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
Lines
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.

Drag and Spin
Use the Drag/Spin tool to drag and spin lines, surfaces, and nodes in order to create surfaces or solids.
Midlines
Use the Midlines tool to create lines and tubes by interpolating between existing lines or surface edges.
Midsurface
Extract the midsurface of thin solids, and review and edit midsurface plates.
