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.
Define meshing preferences.
Each element has an associated element configuration. An element configuration tells HyperMesh how to draw, store, and work with the element.
Solver cards supported for elements.
Use the Element Quality view to review element quality while simultaneously editing your model.
Explore the different types of 1D mesh you can create in HyperMesh.
Supported 2D elements.
Explore the tools used to create 2D mesh.
Use the General 2D Mesh tool to create 2D meshing with various algorithms.
Use the BatchMesher tool to perform geometry feature recognition, cleanup and automatic meshing in batch mode for given CAD files.
Use the CFD 2D Mesh tool to generate hybrid grids containing hexa/penta/tetra elements in the boundary layer and tetra elements in the core or fare field.
Use the Panel Mesh tool to generate and edit mapped panel mesh.
Use the Rigid Body Mesh tool to create a quick mesh to represent the topology of a rigid object.
Automatically generate a mesh at the midplane location, directly from the input geometry (components, elements, solids or surfaces), without first creating a midsurface.
Extract the midsurface of thin solids, and review and edit midsurface plates.
Use the Map Thickness tool to apply thickness values to shell elements on midsurfaced geometry.
The Rebuild tool streamlines the process of remeshing existing meshes to generate a new mesh with good quality and flow. The rebuild mesh functionality utilizes the same parameter and criteria files used by BatchMesher to define the quality criteria and relevant mesh parameters. This algorithm saves significant time over the traditional automesh and quality correction approach.
Adaptive wrap meshing is a useful utility to get a clean, water tight shell mesh out of 2D mesh containing several intersecting parts and small gaps which do not need to be modeled.
EM Lattice meshing is a method to create an axis-parallel mesh for 2D and 1D geometry input.
Create facets out of a scanned data set or node cloud data.
Shrink wrap meshing is a method to create a simplified mesh of a complex model when high-precision models are not necessary, as is the case for powertrain components during crash analysis.
