HyperWorks Desktop Introduction
Getting Started - Running HyperWorks Desktop
WINDOWS
1) From the Start Menu, select All Programs > Altair HyperWorks (version).
2) Select the the application shortcut to run
HyperGraph - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperGraph 2D client loaded.
HyperMesh Desktop - Starts HyperWorks Desktop
HyperMesh - Starts HyperMesh standalone.
HyperView - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperView client loaded.
MotionView - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the MotionView client loaded.

UNIX and LINUX:
1) Launch the system terminal and cd to the directory from which the HyperWorks Desktop
application should be run.
2) At the prompt, enter the full path of the HyperWorks Desktop application start script.

hg - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperGraph 2D client loaded.
hm - Starts HyperMesh standalone.
hmdesktop - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperMesh client loaded.
hv - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the HyperView client loaded.
hw - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the default client loaded.
mview - Starts HyperWorks Desktop with the MotionView client loaded.
11
HyperMesh Desktop Introduction
Getting Started - The Start-In Directory
The Start-In Directory or Working Directory is the location from which the
HyperWorks Desktop application is launched.
This directory ("current working directory) defines where certain settings and
configuration files are written by default; file browser will also use this directory as
its default location for browsing for files.
This directory can be changed, thereby changing the location where these files are
written to or read from. This has the benefit of allowing different settings to be
stored in different directories to give control over the HyperWorks Desktop
environment for different projects or use cases.

Changing the Start-in Directory
On Windows, can be changed by editing the "Start in" field on the application
executable or its shortcut.
On Linux, the start-in directory is defined by the directory from which the user runs
the application startup script.

12
HyperMesh Desktop Introduction
Getting Started - Online Help
HyperWorks Desktop offers comprehensive documentation in the online help.
The Help can be accessed through the menu bar or the use of the h , keyboard
(help documentation is intelligent, opening in the section representing the panel
that the user is actively in)
Help also contains detailed tutorials on many advanced functions.

Contour Plots
Two different ways to create Contour Plots
1) Contour panel:
Contour icon on the Results toolbar
select Results > Plot > Contour from the menu bar
54
Contour Plots

1) Contour Panel

Result type: select the result type and component to be contoured.
Tensors (t), vectors (v), and scalar (s)
Layers (if applicable): display a contour for a specified element layer
Use corner data (if applicable): when selected, HyperView displays color bands by
interpolating available corner results within each element. This allows for a
discontinuity of the result distribution across element boundaries to be seen.
This option is only active when corner data is available in the results file

55
Contour Plots

1) Contour Panel

56
Selection: pick entities in graphics area or using the Elements, Components, or
Assemblies input collector. If no selection is made, the contour will be applied to
the displayed entities
Resolved in: select the result coordinate system to be used to contour the results.
Global - transforms to the global system
Elemental - transforms results to the element coordinate system
Analysis - displays the vector and tensor results as they are output from the
solver
User - available when the results file contains a user-defined coordinate system

Use tracking system - If you activate this option, the results will be transformed
and resolved in the activated tracking system

Contour Plots

1) Contour Panel

57
Averaging method Nodal averaging of elemental results

Contour Plots

1) Contour Panel

58
Averaging method (None, Simple, Advanced, Difference)
None no averaging done
Simple - tensor and vector components are extracted and the invariants
are computed prior to averaging
Advanced - tensor (or vector) results are transformed into a consistent
system and then each component is averaged separately to obtain an
average tensor (or vector)
Difference - difference between the maximum and minimum corner
results at a node

Contour Plots

1) Contour Panel

59
Averaging method Variation (optional): used to control the nodal averaging
calculation
Off - the average results are calculated for all nodes
On - the average results are calculated for only some nodes, depending on the
variation (%) you have defined

Complex results - Complex results are supported in HyperView and can be
contoured using the Contour panel.
They can also be animated using the Modal Animation Mode, . After
switching the animation mode to modal, an additional option appears in the
Contour panel which allows the users to set the Complex filter.

The Complex filter selections available are:
mag*cos(t-phase) The response with varying angle or t (in degrees)
mag Magnitude (r) of the complex result
phase Phase () of the complex number
real Real part (x) of the complex number
imaginary Imaginary part (y) of the complex number
Complex Results are shown in the Result type list with a (c) appended to the result name.
131
Complex results - Complex results are supported in HyperView and can be
contoured using the Contour panel.

To view contour of complex result at certain angle, use Animation Controls and set the
Current angle
Also in the Animation Controls panel, the Angular Increment can also be set. This is used
when animating the model (see image above). To start the animation, click on the
Start/Pause Animation button .

132
Contour vs. Angle - Using the Measure panel, the contour value can be
plotted vs. angle.
1. Set the animation mode to the Modal Animation Mode, .
2. Use the Contour panel to create a contour plot of the appropriate data.

Common post processing need is to take element based result and sum the values to find
the part based value
One typical result that this is done with is strain energy
Take strain energy values that are element based and use the Derived Results
Expression Builder to find the part (or component) based value
Same procedure could be applied to any result type that is element based that you would
like to find the part based value of

1) LOAD - The first step is to load the Advanced Result-Math Template into the
session. This is done in the Open Model panel ( ) and selecting the Result-Math
template to Advanced.

143

2) CONTOUR - The next step is to contour the model with the appropriate result type.
Again, in this example we are interested in summing strain energy values, so the strain
energy contour is applied:

3) DERIVED RESULTS - Next, in the
Results Browser, under the

Tools toolbar > Collision Detection button
Tools > Collision Detection from the menu bar

Perform collision interference checking.
Can define a collision set, select components (parts) in the collision set, and then
detect penetration between two groups.
The ability to define multiple collision sets allows you to quickly perform design
reviews.

While post processing, it is common to do the same steps repeatedly for different
iterations or runs of your model.
This allows you to better study the results with respect to one another.
Report Template
Generate templates with one file that allows you to perform the same operation
for other iterations
Prevents the need to repeat all the same steps
This section covers:
Accessing the Reports Panel
Use the Parameter Browser for report template creation and parameterization
Overlay and append plot, animation and video data with report templates
Display and hide layers of data in plot windows
Report Templates

Report Templates

Open Report Template opens a report template file
Open Reports Panel opens the Reports panel

Adds (append, replace, or overlay) predefined page sets in report templates to the
current HyperWorks Desktop session. A report template automates the processing of
different sets of similar data and contains a list of report parameters.
Save As Report Template saves the current session as a report template
