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.
An introduction to composites terminology and modeling methods.
Examples of a typical workflow that can be followed to create a composite model in HyperMesh. The order of steps provided does not need to be strictly followed but should be used as a template.
Use the Composite Browser to create, organize, and manage composite modeling data.
Entities that comprise composite parts.
Aerospace tools for working with composites.
Supported CAD readers and writers for CATIA and FiberSim.
FE Absorb Plies generates a ply-based model from zone-based properties.
Kinematic Drape provides methods to predict manufacturability of composite parts with challenging shapes and to align material direction for the structural simulation. Draping simulation predicts how the orientation of a ply will change as the ply is placed in a tool/mold.
The Material Reference Orientation tool provides several tabs to set and review x and z material reference orientations.
Ply Geometry Smoothing provides functionality to smooth finite element ply shapes, usually generated from concept level composite freesize optimization, and to generate geometry from finite element ply shapes.
Ply Rename provides several automated ply renaming methods
Preliminary design tools for creating and analyzing structural elements.
Visualization of thickness, layers, and orientations.
Use the Injection Molding ribbon to facilitate the development of accurate structural simulation models for reinforced injection molded parts and assemblies.
Composite stress toolbox functionality which supports calculation of engineering constants, compliance and stiffness matrices, parameterized joint and panel analysis, and other traditional hand-calculation methods.
Development of multiscale and single scale material models and simulation of parts manufactured from any heterogeneous and homogenous material.
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.
