CAD IO

Check for loss of geometry information during CAD I/O for different CAD-HM interfaces.
Compare exported CAD models with the re-imported model (CAD-CAD comparison; HyperMesh APIs used).
Perform entity comparison, surface area comparison, check for matched/unmatched overlapped areas, intersected regions, and surface meta data information.

CAD Model Comparison Across HyperMesh Versions

Similar to CAD I/O, except two exported CAD models are compared from different HyperMesh versions using CAD-CAD comparison APIs.

hvvh_compare_versions

CAD-Mesh Comparison

CAD model is auto-meshed and the meshed model is compared with the original geometry to see how well the geometric surface is captured in the FE model.
Report deviations in the CAD-MESH region comparison.
Surface area comparison.
Matched/unmatched, overlapped, intersected regions.

hvvh_cad_to_mesh

Meshed Geometry Comparison across HyperMesh Versions

Check the consistency of the meshed geometry.
QI and other element checks are compared along with surface area comparison, matched/unmatched overlapped, intersected regions, using FE-FE comparison HyperMesh APIs.
