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.

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.
Direct integration of native results readers into HyperMesh allows you to perform results visualization on the model.
Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
Use the Section Cut tool to cut planar or spherical sections through a model.
A contour plot generates color bands on the model, based on the values found in the results file.
Layers allow you to display a contour for a specified element layer when a layer definition is available for an element.
The Value filter available in the Contour panel allows you to specify threshold criteria for processing results only in a specific range.
Composites post-processing is enhanced in HyperView with the reorganization of ply results as layers.
After a contour plot has been applied in the Contour panel, the Cache feature will become active and allow you to add the currently active contour result to an internal cache.
Mid-side nodes refers to the nodes in between the corner nodes of the 2nd order elements.
Use the Iso tool to display single iso values (iso surfaced for solids or iso line for shells) dependent on results data.
Use the Vector tool to set options for a vector plot.
Use the Tensor tool to view tensor plots of stress and strain directions and magnitudes for various solvers from elemental values.
Refresh Results is a convenient way to quickly refresh a result plot (contour, vector, tensor, or iso) whenever the display changes.
The Edit Legend dialog allows you to change the legend properties.
You can edit the contour, vector, or tensor plot legend in the graphics area.
Results in some analysis types come as complex numbers.
A listing of results that are computed in HyperView.
Nodal averaging of elemental results at a node refers to the average of all the element corner results passing through that node.
The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be bound by same feature angle or face.
HyperView allows for plotting (contour, iso, vector, or tensor) across multiple overlaid models.
The fatigue manager allows you to write stress and strain results from a finite element analysis to an external file that can be used to set up a fatigue analysis.
The fatigue configuration file is a user-defined external ASCII-file through which the data groups from results of static/modal/transient analysis of different solvers can be read.
Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
