Onboarding Resources
Discover HyperMesh CFD functionality with interactive tutorials and community resources.
Solution Layers
Solution-centric workflows allow you to traverse through modeling environments using a dedicated UI layer.
Manage Files and Data
Create, open, import, and save models.
Convert
Use the Convert tool to convert entire models between data types.
Geometry Modeling
Manage CAD, FE, and 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Meshing
Generate surface/volume mesh by defining mesh controls, or interactively create and edit 2D surface mesh.
Setup
Prepare your model and run the simulation.
Post-Processing
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
Automation
Automate simulation processes with templates and utility scripts.
Design Exploration
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
Solver Help
More resources for AcuSolve and ultraFluidX solvers.

Change Mesh Display Settings

Change the display of mesh in the modeling window by configuring the mesh display settings.

From the View Controls toolbar, click

and select a mesh display option.

Geometry Only. Display geometry only, no mesh
Mesh Only. Display mesh only, no geometry.
Note: You can still perform selection as if geometry is visible.
Mesh Only Without Mesh Lines. Display mesh only without mesh lines visible.
Geom and Mesh. Display both geometry and mesh.
