USING ALTAIR HYPERMESH AND HYPERVIEW

April 29, 2008 - April 30, 2008
9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Ohio Supercomputer Center

Altair HyperWorks is a high-performance, comprehensive toolbox of CAE software for engineering design and simulation. The goal of this class is to develop an understanding of how to apply the tools in HyperMesh to the CAE analysis process. This is an introductory course for using HyperMesh to create and set-up finite element models for analysis and for using HyperView to post-process solver results and to analyze test lab engineering data.

A tentative list of topics that will be covered in this two-day course includes:

Topics - Day 1
• Basic interaction with HyperMesh
  • Opening and saving files
  • Interacting with panels
  • Model organization
  • Controlling the display
  • Using the model browser
• Preparing geometry for meshing
  • Repairing CAD geometry data
  • Mid-surfacing
  • Simplifying geometry
  • Refining topology to achieve a quality mesh
• Shell meshing
  • Auto-meshing
  • Meshing without surfaces
  • Checking and editing mesh
  • Batch meshing
• Preparing models for analysis by a particular solver
  • Formatting models
  • Setting-up loading conditions
Topics - Day 2
• Tetra meshing
• Creating hexa and penta mesh
• Basic interaction with HyperView
  • The animation, plot, video and text windows
  • Animating data in the animation, plot and video windows
• Animating results in the animation window
  • Loading animation files
  • Model display attributes and organization
  • Window display and mouse options
  • Results visualization: contour, deformed, iso surface, tensor and vector plots
  • Results manipulation: tracing, tracking, querying, measuring data, and creating section cuts, notes, and derived load cases
• Plotting data in the plot window
  • Creating XY curves using data files and math functions
  • Mouse options in the plot window
  • Modifying XY plots and curve display attributes
  • Interrogating and modifying XY curves
  • Creating and using plot macros
  • Creating bar charts and complex plots
• Synchronizing animation, plot and video data
• Automating data processing: creating and using report templates
• Presenting results
  • Creating BMP, JPEG, TIF, AVI files and HTML files
  • Visualizing and sharing CAE results over the Internet using the freely available Altair HyperView Player
• Translating results
  • Translating results for use in the animation window
  • Converting AVI files for use in the video window

A basic knowledge of finite element analysis
