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.
1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can
be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts
or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell
meshing.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality and create, edit, and apply
shapes for subsequent design optimization studies.
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.

Create 1D elements as a meshing tool or as a single element creation.
Introduction
The Create tool allows you to create the following:
Bar2
Rods
Line Mesh (for bar2 and rod elements only)
It also supports options to create beams as a plate stiffener by seeding nodes on
shell edges and auto orient/offset beams. Access the Create
tool from the Mesh ribbon by clicking 1D Mesh > Create.
