HyperWorks: User's Guide

What's New
View new features for HyperWorks 2020.1.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Video Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
Manage Files and Data
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperWorks.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Model Verification
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.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Elements
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
RBE2s, RBE3s, and MPCs
Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.
Composites
HyperMesh composites and tools.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Aerospace
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.
- Assembly Tools
  Create an assembly structure from a .csv file definition.
- Panel Tools
- Beam Tools
- Check Tools
- Composite Tools
- Load/BCs Tools
- Connection Tools
- Spatial ID Manager Tools
- Result Tools
  - Results Processing Tools in HyperMesh
    The results post-processing workflow is now embedded in HyperMesh, and you can seamlessly process solver native results in HyperMesh. The File Loader is used to generate the new results entity.
  - Matrix Browser
    Use the Matrix Browser to explore the HyperMesh and HyperView data entities and export the entities to external files for further analysis.
  - Results Explorer
    Enables exploring the element force and moment results (internal loads) from solver result files (grid point forces) for further component sizing/optimization tasks and also for component certification/margin calculation.
  - Free Body Diagram (FBD)
    Calculate free-body forces, moments, displacements and rotation.
  - F06 Parser
    In Nastran, the F06 file contains information related either to the diagnostic of the model, analysis check up and results. This tool enables you to parse a defined number of information blocks and store them as a HyperMesh table entity with a given name.
  - Import and Check Ground Check Forces
  - Fringe Post-Processing Using Different Volume Averaging Methods
    Use this tool to evaluate for the selected elements the average value of the selected result type.
- Certification
  Framework to plug certification methods inside HyperWorks to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
- Set Tools
- System Tools
- Node Tools
- Aeroelasticity
Marine
Use marine tools to create a stiffener mesh.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
