HyperWorks: User's Guide

What's New
View new features for HyperWorks X.
Get Started
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Tutorials
Discover HyperWorks X functionality with interactive tutorials.
File Management
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
Interface with External Products
Solver interfaces supported in HyperMesh.
Entities and Solver Interfaces
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
CAD Interfaces
Support provided by the CAD readers and writers.
Model Verification
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Geometry
Create and edit geometry.
- Create Geometry
  Sketch points, line, and circles on geometry or in space, and patch, extend, and offset surfaces.
- Edit Geometry
  Edit geometry surfaces.
- Geometry Cleanup
  Cleanup problematic areas on geometry.
  - Defeature Geometry
    Use the Defeature tool to automatically find, review, and defeature holes and other non-essential features.
    - Remove Cuts
      Use the Cuts tool to extend surface edges and remove cutouts.
    - Remove Logos
      Use the Logos tool to find and remove logos.
    - Remove Rounds and Fillets
      Use the Fillets tool to find and remove both round (convex) and fillet (concave) surfaces.
    - Remove Solid Holes
      Use the Holes tool to remove solid holes in the model.
    - Perform Batch Repair
      Use the Batch tool to perform automatic cleanup operations on selected surfaces.
  - Preserve Edges
    Use the Preserve Edges tool to ensure that specific component edges and feature lines do not accidentally get discarded during auto cleanup or batch meshing.
  - Match Topology
    Fix gaps between stitched edges and vertices to make the actual geometry of the surfaces consistent with the model topology.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks X.
Elements
Create and edit 0D/1D entities and edit 2D elements.
