HyperMesh Batch is a non-graphical version of HyperMesh that can be used to run command files or Tcl scripts in batch mode.
The start-in directory is the location from which the application is launched.
Settings files include command<#>.tcl and hwsettings.xml.
HyperMesh allows you to create a script file named hmcustom.tcl that can be used to automatically execute a series of commands or to define custom settings during startup.
Environment variables can be defined to configure various aspects of the application.
Extensions are programs integrated with the application to enhance or extend the user experience.
HyperMesh has a configuration file named hm.cfg, which is read on startup and is located in the <install_directory>/hw/bin/<platform> directory.
A preference file is an ASCII file that configures the application or its clients. It specifies default user settings, such as the order in which colors are assigned, the default printer and default page layout.
A session file is an ASCII text file that contains a structured list of session statements.
Report templates consist of statements similar to session and preference statements.
Every statement in a Report Definition file begins with an asterisk, *. Lines without asterisks are treated as comments.
Specifies if a session/report template contains a HyperView-MultiCore window.
Specifies a value to be applied to each layer of an attribute.
It is a session file (.mvw) script statement and report definition file (.tpl) statement in the *BeginLegend() and *BeginNote() blocks.
Indicates the beginning of a layer attributes block.
Creates an instance of a curve from the given curve definition.
Begins a curve definition block.
Begins a graphic definition block.
Begins a page definition block.
Begins a plot definition block.
Begins a report definition block.
Begins a text editor definition block.
Indicates the end of a definition block.
Creates an instance of a graphic from the graphic definition.
Creates an instance of a page from the page definition.
Specifies the label, variable type, and optional default for a report parameter.
Specifies the global mesh mode and polygon mode settings for the model itself.
Creates an instance of a plot from the plot definition.
Specifies the name of the report to be used in the interface.
Assigns a numeric value to a Templex variable in a text window.
Assigns a string value to a Templex variable in the text editor.
Creates an instance of a TextEditor from the given TextEditor definition.
Sets the time delay for each of the windows on a page.
Sets the time scale factor for each of the windows on a page.
Specifies an optional view related setting.
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.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.
