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.
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.
Examples of a typical workflow that can be followed to define a composite model in HyperMesh. The order of steps provided does not need to be strictly followed but should be used as a template.
Use the Injection Molding ribbon to facilitate the development of accurate structural simulation models for reinforced
injection molded parts and assemblies.
Composite stress toolbox functionality which supports calculation of engineering constants, compliance and stiffness
matrices, parameterized joint and panel analysis, and other traditional hand-calculation methods.
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.
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.
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.

Reference orientation specifies the 0° 1-direction for each ply. Reference
orientation is set either by element or by property and is a rotation from the
default solver element system x direction. HyperMesh
supports common methods of material orientation for each user profile. Specific
definitions vary by user profile. For example, the OptiStruct convention is shown in the following image.
Material orientation can be set and reviewed through the right-click context menu of the Composite Browser.
Right-click anywhere in white space and select Orient > Material Reference Orientation from the context menu to apply orientations
or select Orient > Material Reference Review from the context menu to review
orientations.
