Welcome
What's New
View new features for Altair HyperWorks 2024.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Tutorials
Learn more about the Altair HyperWorks suite of products with interactive tutorials.
Startup Procedures and Customizations
Start and configure the applications.
Tool Finder
View a list of deprecated panels and their newer, equivalent workflows.
Manage Files and Data
Create, open, import, and save models.
Sessions and Report Templates
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperMesh.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Browsers
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.
Sketching
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Topology
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
FE 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.
Meshing and Elements
Explore the different types of mesh you can create in HyperMesh and create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Composites
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Morph
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Skeleton Modeling
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Design Space
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in HyperMesh.
Design Explorer
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Analyze
Models require loads and boundary conditions in order to represent the various physics and/or physical equivalents to bench and in-use testing.
Axisymmetry
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
Concept Modeling
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.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag
Use airbag folder utilities and export a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Aerospace
Essential utility tools developed using HyperMesh-Tcl.
Aeroelasticity
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Certification
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
PhysicsAI
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
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
Developer
The Developer ribbon contains tools for automation and customization.
Plot Data
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
Multibody Modeling
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
Media Files
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.

Open Files

Load an Excel CSV file into TableView.

In TableView, you can open and load an Excel CSV file using the File > Open > Table menu selection.

Upon opening, all cell values displayed are from the Excel CSV file:

Figure 1.

The link to the Excel file is saved to the session file or the report template. If you add or change cell values in TableView, that data is lost if you save and then reopen the session file or report template. Changes to formatting (borders or font, for example) and any rules that you have defined in TableView are restored when you reopen the session file or report template. The link to the Excel CSV file overrides any data changes made directly in TableView.

The image below shows the Excel data in TableView after conditional formatting has been applied and after saving the session with the link to the Excel CSV file:

Figure 2. Conditional formatting defined with an Excel CSV file loaded in TableView

If the data in the Excel file that is linked to the session file changes, the data displayed in TableView reflects the updated CSV, but the conditional formatting you defined remains the same. The rules you defined are displayed in TableView according to the data in the Excel CSV file.

Report Overlay

When an overlay area is defined, you can append the rows or columns of the overlay area with the updated values.

The insert mode is not supported since the data is from the Excel CSV file.
When you apply the report with or without the overlay area, you can save the file as a session or report again and the link to the Excel CSV is saved.
When you overlay two or more times without an overlay area, only the line to the first CSV file is saved in the session or report.
When you overlay two or more times with an overlay area, all links to the CSV files are removed when you save as a session or report.
