HyperMesh provides an integrated environment for building and assembling CAE models, starting from CAD data and leading up to multidisciplinary simulation. Dedicated workflows for components, subsystems, and connections allow for accurate model configuration and facilitate collaboration among distributed teams. Built-in libraries promote task automation and efficient assignment, streamlining coordination between engineers and analysts.

The workflow for Design Space definition is engineered to simplify the setup of models for optimization. With a voxel engine for fast Boolean operations, automatic collision detection, and a dedicated library of non-design spaces, HyperMesh is ideal for topology optimization studies, especially in automotive BIW scenarios, but also applicable across various industries.

The Design Explorer environment allows easy setup and management of design of experiments (DOE) and multivariate analyses. Users can quickly identify key performance drivers and compare results across multiple simulations to select the optimal configuration. The process is solver-independent yet fully integrated with Altair’s structural analysis solutions.

With physicsAI technology, HyperMesh incorporates geometric deep learning algorithms to accelerate prediction and enhance design decision-making. AI learns from historical data and can predict structural behavior up to 1000 times faster than traditional simulation. The platform also includes automatic shape recognition and geometry grouping, streamlining the model preparation phase.

HyperMesh provides a dedicated environment for CFD modeling, including tools for geometry simplification, boundary condition setup, and automatic mesh generation. A unified interface for all Altair CFD solvers simplifies the entire process, from pre-analysis to post-processing, supporting a wide range of physical phenomena and optimizing computational resource usage.

The HyperMesh crash module guides engineers through complete model setup, from CAD geometry to executable solver decks for tools such as Radioss. It includes specific tools for configuring airbags, dummies, seats, and restraint systems, with full compliance with international safety standards. The integrated workflow reduces errors and simplifies the creation of high-fidelity crash models.

HyperMesh includes a full suite of tools for fatigue and durability assessment, with solver-neutral workflows. With its integrated material library and direct import of FEM and MBD results, the platform enables accurate life prediction for components under cyclic loads. It also supports weld certification and analysis in compliance with industry-specific standards.

For NVH engineering, HyperMesh offers extended capabilities for vibro-acoustic performance studies of vehicles. Support for multiple models, dynamic configurations, and global load cases enables full-vehicle advanced simulations. Dedicated post-processing and advanced diagnostic tools help identify and resolve structural issues related to noise and vibration, improving perceived product quality.
