HyperWorks adds functionalities


Troy, Michigan – Altair's flagship software suite HyperWorks has released a number of new features that improve workflows and provide a complete framework of model building and stress analysis solutions for aerospace. The new tools increase efficiency for engineers’ daily tasks, including concept design, global, and detailed finite element model build, post-processing, and certification report generation.

"We really focused on understanding the desired workflows and creating an environment to easily move between CAD models, CAE models and results, and external tools such as Microsoft Excel," said Dr. Robert Yancey, Altair vice president of Aerospace.

HyperMesh 14.0 accommodates the workflow of building concept models to global loads models and then to detailed FE models (GFEM to DFEM) based on a common CAE Master Model Organization which can be shared easily with PLM, PDM, or CAD systems. The master model approach allows for individual work groups to work on sub-assemblies. These can later be merged into the global master model. Configuration management can be used to derive model variants from the same model.
