Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in HyperMesh by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
Pre-processing and post-processing tools are displayed on panels located at the bottom of the application.
Create and edit geometry.
Elements are FE idealizations for a portion of a physical part.
Configure criteria and parameter settings.
Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Finite Point Method (FPM) is a technique used to analyze bodies that do not have high cohesive forces among themselves and undergo large deformation, such as liquids and gases.
1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
A surface mesh or "shell mesh" represents model parts that are relatively two-dimensional, such as sheet metal or a hollow plastic cowl or case.
Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell meshing.
Mesh controls are used to automate and streamline the meshing process.
After you build your model, calculate the quality of elements in a mesh.
The Element Quality view allows you to investigate each specific element criteria, view a breakdown of all failed and worst elements, resolve all criteria violations at one time, and evaluate the over all quality of a mesh.
After you build your model, check the quality of the elements in the model.
Create an HTML mesh quality report for the current model or for multiple models.
The Thickness view allows you to investigate the shell thicknesses in your model.
Validate the input surface mesh before performing volume mesh generation using the Boundary Shell Checker.
The Solid Mesh Optimization tool can be used to improve the quality of a tetra, hexas, and second order meshes with respect to several element criteria.
Penetration is defined as the overlap of the material thickness of shell elements, while intersection is defined as elements that actually pass completely through one another.
Modify your mesh by detect holes, locating edges or features, refining mesh pattern, and so on.
Batchmesher is a tool that performs geometry feature recognition, cleanup and automatic meshing in batch mode for given CAD files.
