Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
- Manage Parts
  - Open the Part Browser
    Use the Part Browser to create, organize and manage the CAE part structure/hierarchy.
  - About Parts, Part Assemblies, Part Instances
    A part is an engineering representation of a physical part, and a part assembly is a group of part assemblies and/or parts. Part Instances, which are recognized from PDM, are automatically converted to Part Instances on import into HyperMesh.
  - Create Parts, Part Assemblies, and Part Instances
    Only CAE parts and part assemblies can be manually created in HyperMesh. PDM parts and part assemblies must be imported into HyperMesh.
  - Import Parts, Part Assemblies, and Part Instances
  - Organize Part Assemblies and Parts
    Organize part assemblies, parts, and components in your model.
  - Transform Parts Assemblies and Parts
    Translate, rotate, reflect, scale, and position selected parts and part assemblies.
  - Save Assemblies as HyperMesh Binary Files
    The part assembly can be saved as a self-contained binary file, which will include the part assembly based hierarchy and attributes such as components, properties, and materials.
  - Manage Representations
    - About Representations
      The CAD representation is typically the original source of information of what a physical part will look like. It forms the basis of the Common representation, which in turn is the basis of all subsequent discipline specific mesh representations. A part can contain multiple representations.
    - Create Representations
    - Define Representations
      Create your own user defined representation. User defined representations are saved to the settings and will be available in subsequent HyperMesh sessions.
    - Add Representations
      Part representations can be added from external sources such as solver decks and HyperMesh binary files or from the Part Library.
    - Browse Library Content
      Review library content using the Library Viewer.
    - Load Representations
      Part representations can be loaded from your current HyperMesh session or from the Part Library.
    - Reload Representations
      Restore part representations to their original state.
    - Unload Representations
      Unload part representations from a session.
    - Update Metadata From PDM
    - Sync Metadata To PDM
      Sync PDM metadata (PDM PID, PDM Thickness, PDM Material, and PDM MID) based on a selected part or part's metadata (PID, Thickness, Material, MID).
    - Save Representations
      After importing a BOM and creating respective representations, you can save the representations locally or in the Part Library.
    - Delete Representations
      Part representations can be deleted from the current HyperMesh session and from the Part Library.
      - Delete Representations from the Current HyperMesh Session
      - Delete Representations from the Part Library
    - Representation Load Settings
      Settings to configure the representation entity management behavior.
  - Manage Part Revisions
    Manage, control and update Major, Study and Library Part revisions using the Part Library.
  - Manage Configurations
    Group common and unique parts/part assemblies together in part sets, and organize parts and part sets that are unique to a configuration.
- Manage Subsystems
- PostgreSQL Installation and Configuration
  Also referred to as Postgres, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.
- Organize Entities
  Use the Organize tool to move or copy entities into their proper destinations.
- Match Parts
  Automatically group selected parts into part sets based on comparison method and criteria selected.
- ID-Management
  Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.
- Model Verification
  Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
- Assign Properties, Materials, and Systems
  Define physical and mathematical characteristics of parts.
- Generate Contacts Automatically
  Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type, the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.
- RBE2s, RBE3s, and MPCs
  Create, review, and edit RBE2/RBE3 elements and MPC equations.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Elements
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
Morph
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality and create, edit, and apply shapes for subsequent design optimization studies.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Composites
HyperMesh composites modelings.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Design Space
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.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Aerospace
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.
Aeroelasticity
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Marine
Use the marine tool set to streamline the creation of properties and 1D stiffener mesh using the info read from Marine CAD tools.
