Computer Aided Engineering
 Computer Aided Engineering is the broad usage of computer software to aid in

Engineering tasks.
 Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the use of computer software to simulate
performance in order to improve product designs or assist in the resolution of
engineering problems for a wide range of industries. This includes simulation,
validation, and optimization of products, processes, and manufacturing tools.
 In general, there are 3 phases in any computer aided engineering tasks:
• Pre – Processing (Finite Element Model)
• Analysis
• Post - Processing
4
Finite Element Analysis
 The user constructs a model of the levels on the model, showing a full
part to be analyzed. Then picture similar to that of photoelastic or
the geometry is divided into a number moire experimental results. this
of discrete sub-regions or elements method is used for almost every kind
connected at discrete points called of CAD components.
nodes. Certain of these nodes will
have fixed displacements, and others
will have prescribed loads. Then the
loads of real value, direction and
type are applied on the model.

About the Developer
 Altair Engineering was established in 1985
 Altair was founded by Jim Scapa, George Christ, and Mark Kistner
 HyperMesh was released in 1990
 Currently headquartered in Troy, Michigan with regional offices

throughout America, Europe and Asia.
 Altair Engineering is the creator of the HyperWorks suite of CAE

software products.
9
HyperMesh
 Altair HyperMesh is a high-performance finite element pre-

processor that provides a highly interactive and visual environment
to analyze product design performance.
 With the broadest set of direct interfaces to commercial CAD and

CAE systems, HyperMesh provides a proven, consistent analysis
platform for the entire enterprise.
10
HyperMesh
 With a focus on engineering productivity, HyperMesh is the user-preferred

environment for:
• Shell Meshing
• Solid Mesh Generation
• Automatic mid-surface generation
• Detailed Model Setup
• Connectors
• Solver Interfaces
11
Benefits – Open Architecture
• Import CAD-generated geometry or finite element model information

• Export CAD geometry or finite element information for specific analysis codes
• Translate analysis results information into HyperMesh binary results format
12
Benefits – High Speed High Quality Meshing
 With both automatic and semi-automatic shell, tetra- and hexa-meshing

capabilities, HyperMesh simplifies the modeling process of complex
geometries.
13
Benefits – User Friendly
• Reduces training time and cost by elimination of redundant tools

 An easy-to-use, intuitive graphical user interface makes it simple for anyone
to learn the software, which further increases modeling efficiency and reduces
training cost.
14
Benefits – Closes the loop between CAD & FEA
 Create surfaces from finite elements enabling analysis engineers to

communicate results and design modifications back into the design
environment.
15
Benefits – Reduces Model Assembly Time
 Leverage highly automated methods for rapid model assembly that create
connections such as bolts, spot welds, adhesives and seam welds.
16
Capabilities of HyperMesh
• Best In Class Meshing

o 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.
o High Fidelity Meshing

– Surface meshing
– Solid map hexa meshing
– Tetra meshing
17
• CAD Interoperability
o HyperMesh provides direct readers for industry-leading CAD data formats
for generating finite-element models.
o HyperMesh has robust tools to clean up (mend) imported geometry
containing surfaces with gaps, overlaps and misalignments that prevent
high-quality mesh generation.
o 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.
o Boundary conditions can be applied to these surfaces for future mapping
to underlying element data.
18
• CAE Solver Interfacing

o HyperMesh supports a host of different solver formats for both import and
export.
o Along with fully supported solvers, HyperMesh provides a completely
tailored environment (user profile) for each supported solver.
