Start and configure the applications.
View a list of deprecated panels and their newer, equivalent workflows.
Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
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.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Setup an Optimization in HyperMesh.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Models require loads and boundary conditions in order to represent the various physics and/or physical equivalents to bench and in-use testing.
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
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.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Use airbag folder utilities and export a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperMesh-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
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.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
The Developer ribbon contains tools for automation and customization.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Use TableView to create an Excel-like spreadsheet.
TextView math scripts reference vector data from HyperGraph windows to automate data processing and data summary.
Create, define, and export reports.
Common terminology used with the collaboration features is described in this section.
Content refers to any information stored in a library. Content Definitions encapsulate information about the types of information managed by the HyperMesh libraries.
There is one out-of-the-box repository, Personal (managed repository).
Libraries can be created within a repository to logically organize or group the contents stored within a repository. Repositories can contain one or more libraries.
A workspace is a local directory where files are retrieved from the vault so that they can be viewed and/or modified.
Content inside a library can be organized by folders and categories.
The Content Browser is the main component of the Organize browser and displays library content in many ways, according to options available from the toolbar.
The Properties panel shows metadata names and values for the selected object in the Content Browser.
Use the Content Browser to set your preferences.
Use the Category view to view the library contents according to category. Use the Folder view to view the library contents according to what folders they reside in.
Contents that refer to other contents are indicated with the Show/Hide References icon.
For managed libraries it is possible to see all contents belonging to the library (Repository view) or only the content whose documents are retrieved in the current workspace (Workspace view).
The recycle bin works in much the same way as the recycle bin on the Windows operating system. Contents that have been deleted from the library are moved to the recycle bin.
Filter contents by using the Filter toolbar.
You can export and create a new library with selected contents from your active library.
Labeling is a convenient way to associate groups of related contents together so they can be easily retrieved and viewed as a set.
Lifecycle operations include operations such as Get, which retrieves a content to your workspace, and Check-Out and Check-In, which result in versioning of contents.
The Explore dialog provides enhanced capabilities for searching for and retrieving data, beyond what is provided from typical file browse dialogs.
Use the Subscribe dialog to register or subscribe to parts or items of interest that reside within a corporate PDM system. Once the parts have been subscribed to, the dialog helps to ensure that you are working with the latest information by allowing you to quickly check whether any subscribed to parts have been updated, and to seamlessly retrieve updated information and files for those that have.
MotionView supports a limited version of interface with Collaboration Tools.
Collaboration Tools comes with an out-of-the-box profile, which is tailored specifically for organizing and managing material information and data.
