HyperWorks Reviews

I like the new interface; the icons are very understandable and useful. And we don't need to continuously press the ctrl button on the keyboard while panning and turning the geometry.

After the 2022.1 patch, most of the bugs are removed, but there are still some. So I'm waiting for the 2022.2 patch; probably program will run more smoothly. And somehow, I didn't understand when the command was not working correctly after the close and reopen; the program command was working well. It happened a few times, which is weird.

I'm cleaning geometries and meshing them quickly, which needs analysis and running smoothly. Hyperworks made my work easier and faster. For meshing, we are using it in our department all the time.

Clean and friendly user interface, help and support from the company through their websites, courses etc and mesh control is the best thing that the software provides. Along with the ability to perform multiple types of analyses with multiple solvers, it is a complete package for a CAE Analyst.

Newer versions are having issues with compatibility. Some old features dont work or are not available on the main interface, need to search on new versions.

Hyperworks has proven to be base software to go to for any type of analyses, whether it be simple linear static and optimization or complex multi body simulations.

Hyperworks is the most advanced finite element analysis preprocessor available in the market right now.

The older interface was old fashioned, but they revized the interface in newer versions. Every analysis type should have a predefined ribbon, like Patran.

Altair Hyperworks helps me with all kinds of analysis types, from lineer static to explicit dynamic analysis. In aerospace industry, we use it mostly for creating detailed finite element models.

1) Hypermesh meshing tool is best in industry for FEA meshing

2) Optisruct and raidioss solver for implicit and explicit solving

3) Hyperview for postprocessing

while doing deck setup for complex scenarios for analysis of components we need to use lot of controls cards! some times it get difficult for self learner how to use those cards

Good thing is they are improving their Graphic user interface

for eg cfscfd Accuslve, hyperlife, simalab, inspire etc.

In simlab the improved preprocessing as well as in accuslove cfd

User interface was good and it was fast in all computers.

There is not anything specific to metion.

Finite element analysis and nodes needed for a model.

Extensive Modules for Analysis & Simulation easily available

Quite often it crashes for heavy Models and the connection between Multiphysics modules quite cummbersome

Multiphysics Simulation for Composite Parts and Tools. For Design Feedback and Manufacturing Process Simulation and identifying deviations throught DFMEA

Hyperworks is a User-friendly and easy to use tool for CAE calculations.

Ability to assemble the geometry is not as good

If you are thinking of a user-friendly Pre-processor for your CAE Analysis, then Hyperworks is the best platform. Though it is not a robust Non-Linear solver, basic analysis can be easily done with good correlation with actual values.

I have mainly used Hyperworks for FE Mesh generation using Hypermesh and Simlab, Solver deck setup using Hypermesh, Analysis using Optistruct Solver and Post-processing of results using Hyperview.

Hyperworks software is a very professional software for complex geometries.

I can model for finite element analysis.

Mid-surface rendering and mesh criteria for solid geometries are quite extensive.

The complexity of the usage interface sometimes prolongs the work.

Model control is a bit difficult in Platfrom.

The ability of assembly geometries to work in different segments in mesh models is poor.

If you have complex geometries, you can easily use the finite element mesh structure using this software.

I used it for forming the middle surface of the parts produced by plastic injection.

I used the mesh criteria in the projects.

Many capabilities to customize meshing of objects

User interface is not friendly and easy to use for new users.

Please provide a better help and tutorial for using HyperWorks for new users.

We use HyperWorks mostly to generate mesh file that could be able to import to other solvers like LS-DYNA or ANSYS for calculation. Having a nice mesh allows us to achieve better finite element analysis calculation, especially at nanometer scale.

Reduces time and engineering analysis setup cost through high-performance finite element modeling (Preprocessing). Best element level control compared to Ansys & APDL. Its user interface is very easy to understand and It can support various kinds of extensions files and also it can solve any kind of model with ease.

Dependency on other models before post processing and plotting results also the interface can be improved to be more intuitive. Mesh controls are not stored and geometric handling features can be improved.

Awesome tool for a variety of analysis and tasks. Multiple online support forums to solve for temporary issues we face.

Tool design & projects as a mechanical engineer.

Used it extensively as a mechanical engineer for projects and in tools design.
