HyperWorks offers high quality tools for CFD applications enabling the engineer to perform modeling, optimization and post-processing tasks efficiently.

The CFD application in Engineering Solutions is a powerful pre-processor to perform geometry cleanup/generation and to generate quality grids for CFD applications. Tools for different grid types like hybrid, hex-core, wind tunnel or pure hexa-grids are available. The I/O capabilities include support of native formats for AcuSolve, CFD++, FLUENT, StarCD, SC/Tetra and OpenFoam. For CFX, the native FLUENT format can be used.      

HyperMorph, the morphing technology included in HyperWorks, supports both morph domains and morph volumes for shape generation. HyperMesh’s morphing tools facilitates the task of defining geometrical changes based on an existing mesh. By providing you with a large number of morphing algorithms well suited for CFD applications, you can easily generate new designs, in general without remeshing.

HyperStudy is a design study and optimization tool for product design in a multidisciplinary environment. The morphing capabilities can be coupled with HyperStudy and a CFD solver of your choice to perform automated design studies or shape optimizations.

HyperView is a post-processor for the visualization of CFD results, like contour plotting, streamline generation or velocity vector plotting. Result data from all major CFD tools can be imported using the EnSight© format.

AcuSolve is a leading general-purpose finite element based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) flow solver with superior robustness, speed and accuracy.

AcuConsole is a powerful and dedicated pre-processor for AcuSolve, capable of meshing complex geometries in an efficient manner.
