Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
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.
Use Stiffener Mesh tool to create 1D elements as shell stiffeners from orphan lines representing trailing edges.
Use the Member Mesh tool to create 1D elements on edges, free lines, nodes, or members.
Use the Edit Beam: Align tool to reorder the N1 to N2 sequence of 1D element nodes.
Use the Edit Beam: Orient tool to define bar2 or bar3 orientation.
Use the Edit Bar2 and Bar3 Offset tool to manually set offsets or adjust beams on plates.
Use the Edit Beam: Pins tool to edit and release degrees of freedom.
Use the Review tool to plot area moments of inertia and stiffness.
Use the Section Property tools to create Shell, Solid, or Elastic sections from model entities.
Use the Section Property tools to update properties assigned to bar2 elements (target) using a cross section on various entities as the source.
Use the Inflate tool to create 2D shell mesh or 3D solids from 1D beams.
These tools enable the creation of 1D elements from surface lines, organizing them into components. They also offset/orient these elements based on the attached shell elements and calculating properties of these 1D elements from 3D solid or shell FE element sections.
Models that require 0D and 1D elements can be created through controllers.
