HyperWorks Tutorials
This tutorial demonstrates how to import an existing FE model, apply boundary conditions, and perform a finite
element analysis on a flat plate. The flat plate will be subjected to a frequency-varying unit load excitation using
the direct method. Post-processing is done in HyperView and HyperGraph to visualize deformations, mode
shape response, and frequency-phase output characteristics.
The following exercises are included:
• Setting up the problem in HyperMesh
• Submitting the job
• Viewing the results (HyperMesh and HyperGraph)
Exercise
Step 1: Launch HyperMesh and set the RADIOSS (Bulk Data) User Profile
1. Launch HyperMesh.
A User Profiles Graphic User Interface (GUI) will appear.
2. Select RADIOSS in the User Profile dialog.
3. From the extended list, select BulkData.
4. Click OK.
This loads the User Profile. It includes the appropriate template, macro menu, and import reader, paring down
the functionality of HyperMesh to what is relevant for generating models in Bulk Data Format for RADIOSS and
OptiStruct.

7. Click the entity selection switch and select nodes from the pop-up menu.
8. Click nodes and select nodes 5, 29, 30, 31 and 32 (see figure).

7. Uncheck all the dof's; except dof3, and click the = to the right of dof3 to type in a value of 20.
8. Click on load types= and select DAREA from the extended entity selection menu.
9. Click create > return.

Step 11: Create a Set of Outputs and Mass Factors Specific to Frequency Response
Analysis
1. Click Setup > Create > Control Cards to open the Control Cards panel.
2. Select GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST and check the box next to DISPLACEMENT.
3. Under FORM(1), select PHASE from the pop-up menu.
4. Under OPTION(1), select SID from the pop-up menu.
A new field appears in yellow.
5. Double-click the SID(1) box and select SETA.
A value of 1 now appears below the SID field box. This sets the output for only the nodes in set 1.
6. Click return to exit the GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUESTS menu.
7. From the Control Cards panel, select FORMAT.
A new window appears in the work area screen.
8. Click number_of_formats = and input a value of 2.
9. On the extended menu in the work area, click on the first FORMAT_V1 field box and select OPTI from the
pop-up menu.
Using OPTI will generate RADIOSS ASCII result files like .disp, .strs, etc. as the output once the run is
complete. These files are used during post-processing.
10. Make sure the second field box is set to H3D.
11. Click return to exit the Format menu and return to the Control Cards menu.
12. Click next and select the PARAM subpanel.
13. Scroll down the list using the arrow in the left corner and check the box next to COUPMASS.
A new PARAM card appears in the work area screen.

14. Click NO below COUPM_V1 and select YES from the pop-up menu selection.
Selecting YES uses the coupled mass matrix approach for eigenvalue analysis.
15. Check the box next to G.
A new PARAM card appears in the work area screen.
16. Click below G_V1 and input a value of 0.06 into the field box.
This value specifies a uniform structural damping coefficient and is obtained by multiplying the critical
damping [] ratio by 2.0.
17. Scroll down using the arrow in the left corner and check the box next to WTMASS.
A new window appears in the work area screen.
18. Click below WTM_V1 and input a value of 0.00259 into the field box.
Three PARAM statements should now appear in the pop-up menu on the work screen.
This factor is used to input all mass entries in weight units. Using this PARAM multiplies all terms in the mass
matrix by this factor.
19. Click return to exit the PARAM menu.
20. Select the OUTPUT subpanel.
21. Verify that KEYWORD is set to HGFREQ.
Using HGFREQ will result in a frequency output presentation for HyperGraph.
22. Click on the box beneath FREQ and select ALL from the pop-up selection.
Choosing ALL will output results for all frequencies.
23. Leave number_of_outputs set equal to 1.
24. Click return to exit OUTPUT.
25. Click return to exit the Control Cards panel.
