Create Mass and Volume Responses
Use the Mass/Volume tool to create mass or volume responses. The resulting response is the mass or volume of the entire model or the mass of an individual property.

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.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
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.

Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
The Design Explorer Browser displays a hierarchical view of your design setup and can be used to enable and disable exploration parameters.
An exploration is a multi-run simulation. Each exploration includes input design variables, and output responses. Explorations may also include goals, consisting of an objective and constraints.
An input design variable is a system parameter that influences the system performance in the chosen output response. Typical design variables may be a part's thickness, shape, or material property. Ranges, with lower and upper bounds, are specified and the variable's value will vary within the exploration. The terms input, input design variable, and design variable are used interchangeably.
An output response is a measurement of system performances, such as mass, volume, displacement, stress, strain, or reaction forces.
Use the Mass/Volume tool to create mass or volume responses. The resulting response is the mass or volume of the entire model or the mass of an individual property.
Use the Disps. tool to create displacement, rotation, velocity, or acceleration responses from selected nodes.
Use the Stress/Strain tool to create stress and strain responses for selected elements or properties.
Use the Force tool to create force responses from 1D elements or constraints.
Use the Frequency tool to create modal frequency responses. The resulting response is the frequency of the given mode number. In addition, a Modal Assurance Criteria (MAC) is created in the background and used to ensure that the desired mode is used in each run in the exploration.
Use the Connector tool to create connector responses. The resulting response is the number of realized connections in the entire model or in selected connectors.
Use the Measure tool to create responses for supported measurements.
Use the Derived tool to create responses which are combination of existing responses.
Generic responses can be created two ways, by specifying a solver result file containing the desired response or by specifying a session file containing desired response evaluations.
Objectives are metrics to be minimized or maximized in an optimization exploration. Minimizing mass to find a lightweight design is a common example.
Constraints need to be satisfied for an optimization to be acceptable. Constraints may also be associated with a DOE. While not used in the evaluation of the DOE, constraints can be useful while visualizing DOE results. Limits on displacement or stress are common examples.
