Introduction to Altair HyperMesh

Description

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.

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

Day One

  • Introduction to HyperMesh
  • Geometry cleanup and Midsurfacing
  • Shell meshing and model assembly
  • Model setup and Analysis (setup BC's and loads and solving in OptiStruct)
  • Post-processing with HyperView (editing the legend and creating HTML reports)

Day Two

  • Preparing Geometry for Meshing (including geom cleanup, midsurfacing and defeaturing)
  • Assembly and Meshing (including connectors, bolted connections, meshing multiple parts, checking element quality and the quality index panel)
  • Animating transient results (contour, section cuts, notes, measures, tracing, tracking)
  • Modifying Plot Characteristics and Attributes (editing curves, scales, offsets, axes etc...)
  • Creating Plots and Animations from LS-DYNA (including generating report templates)
  • Integrating Animation, Plot and Video files (synchronization)

Prerequisites

None
