Hypermesh FEM Model and Hyperview Tutorial

[@govindrajsannellappanavar]

Thanks a lot for this video! I was getting started with Hypermesh and was looking for some video tutorials with explanations. This was the video I was looking for!

[@ManuelRamsaier]

I am glad it helped :)

[@alejandroalvarez5413]

Wish more people explained like you. Thanks!!!

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Thank you 😊

[@prakashmore7124]

Very good video for hypermesh beginners. I have start my hypermesh analysis with this video. Thank you.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Glad you liked it. 😊👍

[@benjaminj3934]

Thanks for the great tutorial, Jeff Winger!

[@ManuelRamsaier]

You think I look like jeff ? :-) Thanks for the nice comment

[@burakcnar5172]

Couldn't agree more, pal. Straight up Jeff Winger, here!

[@thechicodh]

Excelent video!! It is exactly what I was looking for! I'm a mechanical engineer student, I want to learn well the software until the end of my course. Thank you so much for help me.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Im glad this helped you. Good luck for your exams!

[@thechicodh]

@@ManuelRamsaier I want to work with it when I graduate, so I've to learn the software by myself, because in my course we don't have a specific subject to learn it.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

@@thechicodh Ah thats a pity. No FEM theory as well? I recommend Optistruct if you want to get more into topology optimization or shape optimization cause that is where it shines. Otherwise for more general purpose stuff, check out Abaqus, Ansys as well.

[@thechicodh]

@@ManuelRamsaier FEM specifically no, but we study superficially in a subject about projects. But I'll work this year in a undergraduate research with hypermesh. I want to have a solid knowledge in FEM and hypermesh, before try Ansys and Abaqus. Altair has free e-books about FEM, I'm already studying with it.

[@thechicodh]

@@ManuelRamsaier I still some doubts. For example, how do I create 1D mesh, in a rod, when I import it from solidworks as a 3D element?

[@ud4458]

Great tutorial, I would like to reverse the mouse scroll direction, how can I do that ?

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Thank you, this should be the same direction like in the system - so this means like in your browser. I am not aware, that it can be changed in the software Hyperworks only. If you want to change it in the system, you can look here: www.windowscentral.com/how-reverse-scrolling-direction-windows-10 All the best :)

[@srikantav4068]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I am working for LS Dyna solver on HM 2020. I have a question regarding material property assignment. What is the use of property? Can I not directly give Material to the component? I am asking this question because, in HM 2020, property has no option called 'Material'. Therefore, I assigned the material without creating a property directly. Would there be any disadvantage in this approach?

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Properties are used to describe the element type for example the element thickness - you don't set this in the material. For LS Dyna I cannot tell exactly how it is done as I never had the chance but there is no harm in assigning material directly to the components. One example I can think of where you don't need a specific property assigned to a component is with 1D Properties which are often directly assigned to the elements. Hope this helps.

[@krupalprajapati8605]

How can I check the nodal displacement of a specific node in a specific direction?

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Hi :) you can create a system in hypermesh (so thats a user defined coordinate system), then assign the node to it - and then the displacement is given in that coordinate system. Another, maybe easier way of doing this: get the x,y,z values - so you have a vector of displacment and then project it onto your vector of interest. Quick video, if your unsure how to do that mathematically: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKKzmnd_eLWeoJo All the best :)

[@alexandrecalixto3255]

Do you have an ordered list of HM tutorial for beginners that I should watch?

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Maybe in the future - the problem here is how broad the topic of HM is. Basically you can do almost everything regarding field problems with it. So linear static elastic analysis (e.g. cantilever) up to explicit plastic analysis (e.g. crash), even thermodynamic or fluid simulations - so there would not be one list but rather one list per "field".

[@brud_action]

Hellos, Thanks for the video. Please, how to configure Hypermesh so that its interface interacts correctly with the mouse of the computer as in a CAD tool? Currently I have to click buttons from the interface to zoom or rotate parts. It is not practical.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Which version are you using? The new version does not make you press ctrl when rotating.

[@brud_action]

@@ManuelRamsaier 2021, my Hypermesh version.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

@@brud_action The new layout can be started with Hyperworks 2021 - not Hypermesh Desktop 2021 - give that a shot. It should look similar to my videos about hyperworks x (its former name)

[@stefaniamagnettigisolo5775]

Hello, can I ask an off topic question? to run Hypermesh correctly it's necessary to be always connected to Ethernet??

[@ManuelRamsaier]

Hey Stefania, depends on your licese. If you have a network license and dont borrow it, then yes. Hyperworks product will constantly look for the license to be available every few minutes. If you have a local license (specified as a file in the security folder) it doesn't matter. If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask or send me your specific case to [e-mail] All the best :)

[@stefaniamagnettigisolo5775]

@@ManuelRamsaier thank you very much! In fact i have put the license file in the secuity folder of Altair 2021 in Program files, but it seems it does not work without Ethernet... do you know if there is a way to set the license as "local"?

[@ManuelRamsaier]

​@@stefaniamagnettigisolo5775 Yeah, so its a local license (the license is contained in that file). If it were remote you would specify a path to your license server. The thing is, that local licenses are bound to your mac adress. As you were requesting the license you specified a mac adress. This Mac adress I guess is the one of you ethernet controller. So if you deactivate the network controller it will not work but if it is just not connected, there should be no problems. Best guess is: Check if you specified the correct mac adress and if this mac adress is present in your ipconfig - all. Hope this helps. If thats all unsuccessful, please contact the altair support team directly and they sure will figure a way for you :)

@@ManuelRamsaier thank you very much! can I ask a further question about thermal loads? I know how to define thermal load on some nodes, and include it in the Loadstep, with the option TEMP... but if a I had to define a different thermal load with a different value in other nodes, how cai i do this? I tried to define a LoadAdd with the two thermal loads but when I have to select the load in TERM option in the Loadstep card, I can't select the LoadAdd...

[@ManuelRamsaier]

@@stefaniamagnettigisolo5775 Hi there - sure. I am not much simulation thermal stuff anymore but as fas as I remember it was a SPCADD as the thermal loads are done as a constraint and to add it together you would want to choose the SPCADD card. Hope this helps. If its still a problem, please contact me again with your model, then I will look into it :)

[@natasyadayana2500]

After i clicked the optistruct, it appear to have a segmentation error. What should i do? :)

[@ManuelRamsaier]

If this happens every time.. That is a harder one. You can try deleting the setting files in your documents folder but rather I would suggest a clean reinstall.

[@natasyadayana2500]

@@ManuelRamsaier yeah thank you very much thats the root cause of this

The Hyperview tab is disabled, how do I enable it?

[@vivekkumar-gg2tq]

I don't see results tab as well in the window.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

@@vivekkumar-gg2tq Do you mean when trying to switch to hyperview? In this case make sure you are using hypermesh desktop and not just pure hypermesh - as only the desktop version includes all applications. Quick workaround if nothing helps: Start hyperview as standalone and continue loading in model and result from there :) All the best.

[@TheSundara44]

How to make cross sections while animating results?

[@ManuelRamsaier]

For 1D Elements? It is to my knowledge not possible to view the actual cross section in Hyperview but you can choose a primitive form in the preferences.

already did that ;) If you want you can check the new videos with the Shur SM 7B :-) It did bother me as well so I can feel you...

¿Pero porqué no hablas en español? En inglés ya hablan los de lengua sajona y no hace falta que vengan los latinos a regalarles más el oído. El español está necesitado de entender mejor estos cursos, aunque no es mi caso porque yo estuve 2 años estudiando en Londres.

[@ManuelRamsaier]

If I only could do that ... :-D What makes you think I could do this in spanish? I have spanish vacation skills at best, a few duolingo courses but thats it.
