HyperWorks: User's Guide

What's New
View new features for HyperWorks 2020.
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.
- Create Geometry
  Explore the tools used to create geometry.
- Edit Geometry
  Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
  - Split Surfaces and Solids
    Use the Split tools to create fixed points and split surfaces or solids using a variety of methods.
  - Stitch Surfaces and Suppress Edges
    Use the Stitch tool to stitch and unstitch adjacent or overlapping surfaces, and suppress or unsuppress edges.
  - Lines, Surfaces, and Edge Fillets
    Use the Fillets tool to create a constant radius on lines, surfaces, and edges.
    - Line Fillets
      Use the Fillets tool to create or delete fillets between free lines.
    - Surface Fillets
      Use the Fillets tool to create surface fillets between shared edges.
    - Edge Fillets
      Use the Fillets tool to create edge fillets between two free surface edges.
    - Fillets Tool
      An overview of the Fillets tool.
  - Imprint Surfaces
    Use the Imprint tool to imprint points, nodes, lines, or surface onto target surfaces, thus creating new fixed points or edges.
  - Combine, Subtract, Intersect, Detach Solids
    Use the Boolean tool to combine solids, subtract one solid from another, detach solids, and find the intersection out of the solids.
  - Find and Fill Cavities
    Use the Plug tool to find and fill cavities. The Plug tool can also be used to remove protrusions, holes, and complex features.
  - CAD Update
    In this section you will learn about updating CAD metadata and parameters.
- Geometry Cleanup
  Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
