Topic Objective
Managing the size of local coordinate system in HyperView.
Topic Details
For better visualization, one may have to increase or reduce the size of the local coordinate system during post-processing. HyperView allows such an option i.e. to either increase or decrease the size of the coordinate system……

Topic Objective: Constrain direction of X,Y or Z component.
Topic Details
Using SPCs one can constrain both the directions of a translational DoF on a node. This will not help if one direction is necessary to be set free and other constrained.
Here is a workaround to constrain one direction and set the other free. For example block a DOF in the ‘minus x direction’ and the other set free to move…..

Topic Objective
Converting zone based ply models to ply based model
Topic Details
Using HyperWorks Aerospace profile on HyperMesh, it is easy to convert a PCOMP/PCOMPG to PCOMPP i.e., converting a zone based composite model to ply based model….

Topic Objective
To increase number of design iterations for an Optimization run.
Topic Details
In OptiStruct, by default the number of iterations carried for an Optimization setup is 30. For few
models 30 iterations may not be sufficient to get a converged optimization results.
Follow the below procedure to increase the number of iterations for a optimization run….

Topic Objective
To find entities connected to Bodies, Joints, and bushings
Topic Details
When dealing with ahuge model with lots of bodies
etc… it is sometimes time expensive process to debug and figure out which joint connects
which bodies, etc…

Topic Objective: calculate Eigenfrequencies/ Eigenmodes with Gravity
Topic Details
When running analysis with low frequencies, Gravity will somehow have influence on the
structure. To include gravity while running normal modes analysis, please follow the below
procedure…..

Topic Objective
Make HyperMesh window transparent
Topic Details
Use the below command to make HyperMesh screen Transparent:

Topic Objective
Make a ply or core non-designable using CONST
Topic Details
You may want to keep the thickness of a ply or core material in a laminate constant or unchanged during optimization.
For such cases use “CONST” option…..
