Automatically generate a detailed local FEM from the global FEM for verification. HyperFEMgen™ will make the mesh, apply boundary conditions, and apply the global loads to the local FEM. Read more in the context of the Analysis Workflow here.
With the large increases in affordable computing power and the wide availability of commercial packages, finite element analysis (FEA) has become a standard tool for structural analysis. Engineers are now able to execute sophisticated structural analyses from their desktop PC. Unfortunately, creating a high-quality finite element model (FEM) is often a difficult, time-consuming task that is highly prone to user-error.
HyperFEMGen is a tool that automatically creates discretely meshed panels based on data from a HyperX Zone. Loads and boundary conditions are applied and run decks are created for linear static, eigenvalue, and non-linear analyses. Only the controlling loads are applied to the model.
Tip
Most commonly, HyperFEMgen is used to generate discretely-stiffened models from HyperX smeared Sizing results. This aids verification and validation efforts between HyperX and FEA.
