Altair HyperMesh

The world's leading finite element preprocessor

Currently, the emergence of CAE software has brought an important step forward in design. Moreover, the development of CAE software is increasingly enhanced to give the analysis results to achieve high accuracy. In the simulation process, the meshing of the 3D model is crucial, affecting the analysis results later. The more accurately meshing the 3D model, the simulation time will be reduced and the results obtained are highly reliable. HyperMesh is a dedicated software for meshing simulation. HyperMesh software that is part of the Hyperworks suite is one of the software suites specializing in computation and analysis: mechanical, thermal and frequency oscillation.

3. Features of Altair Hypermesh

HyperMesh features easy-to-use advanced tools for building and editing CAE models for both 2D and 3D models, users have access to a wide range of meshing capabilities, as well as a powerful automated division module. powerful in Hypermesh.

Surfacmeshing

The surface mesh module in HyperMesh is a powerful tool for creating meshes with maximum flexibility and efficiency. This includes the ability to adjust a variety of mesh parameters, optimize the mesh based on a set of user-defined quality criteria, and create a mesh using a variety of advanced techniques.

Grid Block (Solid)

Based on 3D geometry data, HyperMesh can use standard and advanced processes to connect or split models for Tetra meshing or Hexa meshing. Split models quickly and easily when combined with HyperMesh's powerful visualizations for 3D geometry. This allows to save more time for geometrical preparation for 3D meshing. The 3D meshing modules quickly generate high-quality meshes for a wide variety of geometries.

Morphing grid

Hypermorph is a great function of the Hypermesh module that allows easy interaction and modification of geometrical parameters and finite element models. This unique approach allows to speed up the customization of the geometry model on a finite element grid without affecting the mesh quality or customization on node indices or element indices. Hypermorph can be used to dynamically generate different geometrical models during design optimization research.

Batch meshing

The BatchMesher module in Hypermesh is the fastest way for automating high-quality finite-element meshing for large assembly models. By minimizing manual meshing tasks, this automated mesh technology gives more time to useful engineering simulation operations. BatchMesher provides user controls over mesh areas, geometry error correction parameters as well as the ability to export to customize individual model format files.

CAD interoperability

Hypermesh has direct readers of today's popular 3D CAD data. Furthermore, HyperMesh will automatically remove / add missing data such as gaps, overlapping surfaces, missing surfaces, ... of CAD data to maximize mesh quality. By eliminating false data, holes, and hiding unnecessary edges, users can mesh mesh quickly while ensuring the quality of the mesh. Boundary conditions can also be applied to these surfaces for future verification of element data. Hypermesh allows reading data directly from 3D CAD software: CATIA V4 / V5; Pro-e; Unigraphic (NX); ACIS; IGS; Parasolid; Step; JT Precise:
