HyperMesh composites modelings.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
The Design Space environment is dedicated to topology optimization model build and setup. It facilitates rapid model creation by generating the voxel design space for a number of different use cases.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Many essential utility tools using HyperWorks-Tcl have been developed over the years to support Aerospace customers. A few tools have been collected and upgraded to be compatible with this release.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Use the marine tool set to streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
Use Squeak and Rattle Director tool set to create evaluation lines, evaluate them and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
Use the Section Cut tool to cut planar or deformable sections through a model.
A contour plot generates color bands on the model, based on the values found in the results file.
Layers allow you to display a contour for a specified element layer when a layer definition is available for an element.
The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.
Composites post-processing is enhanced in HyperView with the reorganization of ply results as layers.
After a contour plot has been applied in the Contour panel, the Cache feature will become active and allow you to add the currently active contour result to an internal cache.
Mid-side nodes refers to the nodes in between the corner nodes of the 2nd order elements.
Use the Iso tool to display single iso values (iso surfaced for solids or iso line for shells) dependent on results data.
Use the Vector tool to set options for a vector plot.
Use the Tensor tool to view tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.
The Edit Legend dialog allows you to change the legend properties.
You can edit the contour, vector, or tensor plot legend in the graphics area.
Results in some analysis types come as complex numbers.
A listing of results that are computed in HyperView.
Nodal averaging of elemental results at a node refers to the average of all the element corner results passing through that node.
The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be bound by same feature angle or face.
HyperView allows for plotting (contour, iso, vector, or tensor) across multiple overlaid models.
The fatigue manager allows you to write stress and strain results from a finite element analysis to an external file that can be used to set up a fatigue analysis.
The fatigue configuration file is a user-defined external ASCII-file through which the data groups from results of static/modal/transient analysis of different solvers can be read.
Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and create and plot stress linearization.
Annotate animation files using notes or trace various entities during animation.
Define planes of symmetry/axisymmetry or explode a model.
Select and overlay images or videos in the modeling window for correlation and presentation purposes.
Select a graphics rendering mode and change the appearance of materials.
The Tools menu provides you access to various panels and dialogs.

From the Preferences menu, you can access the Options dialog.
Explore the various display and visualization tools.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many CAE file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
