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.
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.
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.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
A multibody system study generally involves the following broad steps. The following sections give a brief introduction on using MotionView and the related products to conduct such a study:
Open and save model files, import/export models, and import/export a solver deck.
Learn more about MotionView model entities.
MotionView supports and encourages a modular model building approach. Different entities can be aggregated into containers, thereby arranging a model into a collection of different assemblies or sub-systems.
A collector is a yellow button on a panel that enables you to select an entity type either graphically or from the topics/motionview/collectors_select_entity_dialog_r.html.
The Select an "Entity" dialog allows you to change the entity in a collector.
Explore data entry in MotionView.
The expression builder allows you to enter expressions in text boxes without extensive typing and memorization. It can be used to construct mathematical expressions that are a function of the model parameters.
MotionView contains an implicit variable called SolverMode. In MDL, SolverMode can be used in an "if" context to define topology (include Templex templates). MotionView retains the "if" result for both cases so that when you toggle the solver type, the associated text becomes active within the user interface.
The Select an "Entity" dialog allows you to change the entity in a collector.
Batch mode allows you to generate a solver input model file from an MDL model file and run the solver job without starting the MotionView user interface.
The Export Data dialog allows you to export your data to an Excel or text file.
The Data Summary dialog displays model data in a table that can be edited.
Coordinate systems in MotionView can be oriented using a variety of methods.
Implicit graphics can be displayed for all applicable entities, allowing you to visualize their location and orientation.
Check Model searches for unresolved references and invalid data in the model. If errors in the model are detected, it is reported in the message window that is displayed when the check is completed.
The Create Deformable Surface From FEM macro enables you to quickly create a matrix of explicit markers to be used in defining a deformable surface.
Explore the various panels and tools in MotionView.
The Command Sets panel allows you to create command sets for the solver-command file. The command sets for a model are order dependent, since they define the contents of the solver command file.
Use the Forms tool to edit general data entry forms.
The Model Browser allows you to view the MotionView model structure while providing display and editing control of entities.
The MotionView ribbons allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of MotionView.
MotionView supports the importing of several types of CAD and FE formats.
MotionView has many pre-processing and post-processing capabilities with regards to flexible bodies, or flexbodies, for multibody dynamics models.
