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.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Elements are FE idealizations for a portion of a physical part.
Supported 0D elements.
A mass element rests on a node and is used to represent mass. Mass elements are element config 1 and are displayed as a dot with the letter M written at the centroid of the element.
A spring element is an element created in a space between two nodes of a model where a spring connection is desired.
A gap element is an element created in a space between two nodes, or between a node and an element, of a model where contact may occur. Use a gap element when you want to impose a nonlinear constraint on a model; this constraint will limit the amount of movement possible during analysis.
Use the Spotweld Tool to create 1D elements to connect different parts.
Many of the methods to check and edit mesh are based around determining mesh quality, but others check for mesh penetration, detect holes, and locate edges or features.
Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.
HyperMesh composites and tools.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
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.
