HyperWorks includes an end-to-end model build and assembly modeling environment, going from CAD to multi-disciplinary simulation model. Dedicated workflows for parts, sub-systems, and connectors facilitate representation, revision, and configuration management during the assembly and analysis process. The included Altair Libraries enable seamless distribution of tasks and collaboration between teams both local and remote.

Gaining insights into product’s performances has never been easier. With the HyperWorks design explorer, users can easily setup and execute design of experiments (DOE) and optimization studies, learning which attributes contribute the most to the different performances, review, plot, and compare results from multiple runs, and ultimately identify optimal designs. The quick and easy setup process is solver independent, yet fully integrated with Altair’s structural analysis solutions.

HyperWorks includes a tailored environment to efficiently assist crash and safety engineers in model building, starting from CAD geometry and finishing with a runnable solver deck in Altair® Radioss® and other third-party solvers. From dummy positioning and seat mechanisms to airbags and seat belts routing, it provides an end-to-end analysis workflow that streamlines the setup of impact simulations in accordance with the different regulations.

HyperWorks offers a broad range of functionality for NVH engineers, designed to reduce the simulation cycle time, freeing CAE analysts to focus on optimizing product design and performance. Particularly suited for automotive applications, the HyperWorks workflow makes full-vehicle NVH simulation possible in the most advanced and streamlined form. Multiple, interchangeable, and dynamic representations of the model are easily managed along with global loadcases, post-processing, and advanced NVH diagnostics. Robust design studies of the global NVH performance can be easily performed and evaluated.
