Use the Solver panel to run an external program from within HyperMesh or assign and run a solver on selected analysis decks.
You can run linear static and Lanczos eigenvalue extraction solutions through a sparse matrix finite element solver. The solver is incorporated in Altair’s OptiStruct topology optimization software serving as the core solver for finite element solutions and is fully benchmarked using the standard MacNeil/Harding tests to ensure correct element formulation. For more information, refer to the OptiStruct online help.
There are no subpanels on the Solver panel. All inputs and command buttons are located on the main panel.

Select the desired solver. The default solver is OptiStruct. Other solvers include hmabaqus, hmansys, hmcmold, hmmflow, hmnast, hmnasto2, and, hmpam. If you want to use a different solver, enter the solver name in the HyperMesh configuration file. You must restart HyperMesh before the additional solver name appears in the interface. |
