Solver interfaces supported in HyperMesh.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting, which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Define geometry preferences.
Explore the tools used to setup topology.
Learn about creating, editing, and extracting points and nodes.
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
Use the Ruled tools to create surfaces/solids by interpolating lines and surfaces either linearly or smoothly.
A face is a single Non-uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) and is the smallest area entity. It has a separate underlying mathematical definition, specified when it was created.
Use the Extrude/Revolve tool to drag and spin lines, surfaces, and nodes in order to create surfaces or solids.
Use the Offset tool to offset surfaces, solids, lines, elements, or faces.
Use the Midlines tool to create midlines from existing lines, surface edges, or tube solids.
Use the Extract tool to convert sketches into geometry lines and surfaces with the realize option. Delete lines and surfaces converted from a sketch entity with the unrealize option.
Use the Ribs tool to create and modify simple ribs between two surfaces.
Use the Feature Edges tool to create and edit mesh controls on an edge.
Explore the tools used to edit topology.
The Use Parasolid option, found in multiple Topology tools, helps you in creating/editing geometries using a parasolid geometry modeling kernel.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Explore the different types of mesh you can create in HyperMesh and create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Setup an Optimization in HyperMesh.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Models require loads and boundary conditions in order to represent the various physics and/or physical equivalents to bench and in-use testing.
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Use airbag folder utilities and export a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperMesh-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Create and evaluate evaluation lines and optimize interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or remeshing and without design variables.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Use TableView to create an Excel-like spreadsheet.
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Create, define, and export reports.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.
