11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC -04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

In this demonstration, we’ll cover various tips and tricks for checking your model for potential solver errors. We’ll also show various methods for checking mesh connectivity.

11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC -04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

In this demonstration, we’ll go over the various aspects of importing and generating composite laminates in HyperMesh. We’ll touch on both zone-based and ply-based composite modeling methods, the benefits of one or the other, and how to convert between each type of composite formulation.

In this demonstration, we will overview the Skeleton Modeling process in HyperMesh for creating reduced order models to facilitate concept level optimization or for general model building purposes, by breaking a model down into joints, members, and panels.

In this demonstration, we will discuss workflows and tips for defining contacting surfaces manually and automatically based on a search tolerance. We will also go over some of the formulation options for contacts to ensure correct property formulation and to minimize errors.

In this demonstration, we will delve into the HyperMesh Morphing workflow of tools for reshaping an existing mesh without having to recreate the mesh from scratch while using interpolation methods to maintain mesh quality and flow. Users will see how adjusting an existing mesh to fit to a new part design, without having to reapply boundary conditions, can save analysts tons of time.

In this demonstration, we will explore the process of generating 1D “beam” elements in HyperMesh. We will explore 1D creation, orienting, offsetting, and section generation from preset cross section shapes and cross sections generated from the source CAD representing the beam.

In this demonstration we will look at HyperMesh’s tools for unbeatable levels of manual mesh editing and custom refinement.

In this demonstration, we will look at the workflow and process for generating connecting elements in bulk in HyperMesh. Change element configurations easily, bulk realizing and unrealizing for part replacement, review connections, and more aspects of the HyperMesh connector workflow will be explored.

Watch On-Demand

In this demonstration we will look at the midmeshing process for automatically generating a mesh at the midplane location of a part, directly from the input geometry (components, elements, solids or surfaces), without first creating a midsurface, saving significant time over the traditional midsurface-based approach.

Watch On-Demand

In this demonstration we will look at the process for generating a midsurface from some solid source geometry and how to automatically assign thicknesses to the surface mesh, based on the source geometry.

In this demonstration we will look at the various tools for editing geometry to better aid with meshing in Altair HyperMesh.

In this demonstration we will look at tips and tricks for generating 3D hexagonal meshes in Altair HyperMesh.

In this demonstration we will look at the new ribbon-based HyperMesh interface layout. This will be helpful for users who are still using, or transitioning from using, the Classic panel-based HyperMesh layout. Join us to learn more about our improved interface and how you can fine tune the interface to work better for you.

In this demonstration we will look at the Browser capabilities within HyperMesh. Join us to learn more about entity editing, viewing/editing entity properties in bulk, entity filtering, and much more.

In this demonstration we will look at the various options HyperMesh has for model visualization. Join us to learn more about visualizing shell thicknesses, laminates by ply, model coloring, section cuts, and much more!
