What is Defeature in Hypermesh?

Defeaturing—removing rounded edges, small holes and other nonessential details from the 3D CAD model—is one of the necessary evils of simulation. The more complex the model, the longer it takes to simulate.

How do you remove unused nodes in Hypermesh?

From the Preserve Node panel you can remove preserved nodes from your model and if user wish to remove all of the preserved nodes from your model, click clear all preserved.

What is geometry cleanup?

The Geometry Cleanup option allows you to “clean up” the model geometry by merging vertices which are very close to each other into a single vertex, according to a user-definable spacing criterion.

How do I create a Hypermesh node?

Nodes are created using the menu bar by selecting Geometry > Create > Nodes and then selecting a method to create the nodes with.

How do I adjust the mesh size of an element?

In order to do that just Press ‘O’ from your keyboard to open the Options Panel, then toggle to the mesh subpanel. In this subpanel go to the node tolerance where you can enter the value to adjust the minimum element size. Hope it helps. I assume that you ask the mesh quality criteria.

What is order change in Hypermesh analysis?

, Experience in hypermesh and finite element analysis. Order change is basically when a node is inserted between two existing nodes in an element. So if you can imagine two quad/rectangle elements connected at a common breadth, with 2 shared nodes, then with order change, you would have a new shared node in between.

How to change the mesh size of a node?

In this subpanel go to the node tolerance where you can enter the value to adjust the minimum element size. Hope it helps. I assume that you ask the mesh quality criteria. Press f11 then go to page 3 and there is a “edit criteria” button, click it and change your mesh criteria.

What is hyhypermesh in HyperWorks?

Hypermesh – Hypermesh is an inbuilt meshing software which comes along with Hyperworks. It is a meshing tool. It can also be used to model simple geometries, and more important function is meshing. Meshing is an important process in finite element method.
