Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
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.
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Learn about creating, editing, and extracting points and nodes.
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
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.
Use the Drag/Spin tool to drag and spin lines, surfaces, and nodes in order to create surfaces or solids.
Use the Midlines tool to create lines and tubes by interpolating between existing lines or surface edges.
Use the Midsurfaces: Base Surfaces tool to specify a distance from the base surfaces of multiple solids that you wish to treat as if they were continuous. This will help generate separate-but-aligned midsurfaces during extraction.
Use the Midsurfaces: Automatic tool to extract the midsurface of sheet metal stampings, molded plastic parts with ribs, and other parts that have thickness clearly smaller than width and length.
Use the Midsurfaces: Edit Plates tool to review and edit midsurface plates.
Use the Midsurfaces: Pocket Imprint tool to imprint pockets, fillets, and other geometry features from the source geometry onto the midsurfaces.
Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.
