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.
Use the Connector Browser to view and modify connectors in the current model.
Use the Control Manager to create and edit the various types of controls that will be used later when realizing connectors.
Use the tools in the Create tool set to create connectors, assign controls, and realize.
Create a dummy connector entity to add mass to a part, or create areas of mass to represent parts not present in the CAD or FE data.
Use the Quality controller to perform various checks on connectors and realized FE.
Use the FE Absorb tools to create connectors from existing mesh that meet specific types of realizations.
