Altair HyperMesh Capabilities
Best In Class Meshing
HyperMesh presents users with an advanced suite of easy-to-use tools to build and edit CAE models. For 2D and 3D model creation, users have access to a variety of
mesh-generation capabilities, as well as HyperMesh’s powerful automeshing module.
High Fidelity Meshing
- Surface meshing
- Solid map hexa meshing
- Tetra meshing
- CFD meshing
- SPH meshing
Mesh Morphing
HyperMorph is powerful solution for interactively and parametrically changing the shape and of a finite element model. Its unique approach enables rapid shape variations on the finite element mesh without sacrificing mesh quality. During the morphing process, HyperMorph also allows the creation of shape variables, which can be used for subsequent design optimization studies.
Batch Meshing
Using Altair® BatchMesher™ is the fastest way to automatically generate high-quality
finite element meshes for large assemblies. By minimizing manual meshing tasks, this auto-meshing technology provides more time for value-added engineering simulation activities. BatchMesher provides user-specified control over meshing criteria and geometry clean-up parameters as well as the ability to output to customized model file formats.
CAD Interoperability
HyperMesh provides direct readers for industry-leading CAD data formats for generating finite-element models. Moreover, HyperMesh has robust tools to clean up (mend) imported geometry containing surfaces with gaps, overlaps and misalignments that prevent high-quality mesh generation. By eliminating misalignments and holes, and suppressing the boundaries between adjacent surfaces users can mesh across larger, more logical regions of the model while improving overall meshing speed and quality. Boundary conditions can be applied to these surfaces for future mapping to underlying element data.

CAE Solver Interfacing
HyperMesh supports a host of different solver formats for both import and export. Along with fully supported solvers, HyperMesh provides a completely tailored environment (user profile) for each supported solver. It also provides the flexibility to support additional solvers through a unique and straightforward interfacing language
