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.
Define meshing preferences.
Each element has an associated element configuration. An element configuration tells HyperMesh how to draw, store, and work with the element.
Solver cards supported for elements.
Use the Element Quality view to review element quality while simultaneously editing your model.
Explore the different types of 1D mesh you can create in HyperMesh.
Explore the different types of 2D mesh you can create in HyperMesh.

Supported 3D elements.
Explore the tools used to create 3D mesh.
Explore the tools used to create solid mesh.
Use the Tet tool to fill an enclosed volume with first order or second order tetrahedral elements.
Use the Hex tool to create a mesh of solid elements.
Use the Map tool to create and edit a mesh of solid elements in a solid geometric volume.
You can select multiple solids for map meshing provided that each individual solid is in fact mappable. However, the meshing engine cannot always mesh every selected solid in a single operation, even when all the selected solids display as mappable.
Before you can successfully solid mesh a model, ensure that the solids have been partitioned so that they are either one directional or three directional mappable.
Use the Map: Create tool to create 3D mesh on mappable solids.
Use the Map: Density tool to edit element density and size along source/target surface edges.
Use the Map: Biasing tool to apply linear, exponential, or bellcurve biasing to individual edges of a target/source surface, and edit the elements size distribution.
Use the Map: Face Edit tool to edit the mesh type and mapping method of individual target/source surfaces. You can also define free or unmapped surfaces by selecting points.
Use the Thin Solids tool to create 3D mesh on thin solids. The mesh is created by first generating a 2D mesh on a selected set of source faces, and then extruding this mesh to generate solid hexa or wedge elements.
Acoustic Cavity meshing generates a fluid volume mesh used to calculate the acoustic modes (or standing waves) inside the air spaces of a vehicle or similarly enclosed structural model.
