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.
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.
It is convenient to apply aerospace loads and concentrated mass that is predefined at specific node ID’s from an Excel
file. This requires carefully numbering nodes with specific ID’s, which is a standard practice in aerospace.
Line loads allow total loads (forces and moments) to be applied in a distributed manner on nodes even though the load
is applied on geometry lines or set of nodes forming ordered edges.

Restriction: Only available in the Nastran
user profile.
From the menu bar, click Aerospace > Loads/BCs > Aero-Pressure Interpolation.
Select Interactive.
Select the input file where the aero mesh and the value of the Cp is
stored.
Sign of the pressure (as PLOAD card) can be inverted with respect to the value
in the input file by activating the checkbox.
Set up the unit conversion to make the aero mesh data compliant with the
structural mesh.
Select the interpolation parameters for the pressure field realization.
Import the aeromesh in the form of a HyperMesh
component, and name this collector.
You can also contour the value of the Cp on this set of elements.
Select the elements.
The pressure load coming from the external input is realized, and is
assigned to a specific load collector. You can contour this newly mapped
quantity.
Click Review to open two HyperView clients side-by-side where both aero and
remapped structural pressure are contoured for comparison.
