Define geometry preferences.
Explore the tools used to setup topology.
Explore the tools used to create topology.
Use the Split/Stitch tool to create fixed points and split surfaces or solids using a variety of methods.
Use the Split/Stitch tool to remove split lines so that split surfaces return to their previous unsplit state.
Use the Quick Edit tool to split surfaces and washers, change the category (shared, free, and so on) of edges, create or delete surfaces and points, project points, and trim fillets.
Use the Stitch tool to stitch and unstitch adjacent or overlapping surfaces, and suppress or unsuppress edges.
Use the Fillets tool to create a constant radius on lines, surfaces, and edges.
Use the Align/Project tool to project entities to lines, surfaces, or planes then remap and offset projected nodes.
Simplify a mesh by combining many small elements into a smaller number of larger ones.
Use the Detach tool to detach elements and solids from the surrounding structure.
Use the Box Trim tool trim the model, or selected subset, to fit any defined box volumes.
Use the Defeature tool to automatically find, review, and defeature holes and other non-essential features.
Use the Preserve Edges tool to ensure that specific component edges and feature lines do not accidentally get discarded during auto cleanup or batch meshing.
Updating Inspire, CATIA, and NX parameters to generate modified CAD designs.
The CAD Update tool allows you to update CAD files with new, modified metadata (NX and Parasolid) and modified parameters (NX/Inspire).
Fix gaps between stitched edges and vertices to make the actual geometry of the surfaces consistent with the model topology.
Find intersections and penetrations between geometric surfaces and solids.
Find symmetrical surfaces or compare selected surface sets for symmetry. You can reorganize found symmetric surfaces into separate components or delete one subset of a pair of symmetric surface sets.
Make changes to the configuration of existing elements.
Change existing element types.
Change a group of elements from second order elements to first order elements, or vice versa.
Perform a model-based CAD-CAD, CAD-FE or FE-FE comparison between two models, or two selections of entities, and find and report geometrical/shape differences.
The Use Parasolid option, found in multiple Topology tools, helps you in creating/editing geometries using a parasolid geometry modeling kernel.
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.

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.
