Very handy

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I like the new interface; the icons are very understandable and useful. And we don't need to continuously press the ctrl button on the keyboard while panning and turning the geometry. I'm cleaning geometries and meshing them quickly, which needs analysis and running smoothly. HyperWorks made my work easier and faster. For meshing, we are using it in our department all the time.

Pros

  • Taking midsurfaces much better
  • Meshing is more easy
  • Recreating and building meshes good
  • Sketch tools is not bad

Cons

  • Extend surfaces need to improve
  • Some skills are not working well sometimes like patch, cross extend

Likelihood to Recommend

HyperWorks allows you to do structure analysis fast and precisely. Then, it also have the option of you to run optimization, Optistruct is a good solver and built in to the interface. The GUI sometimes can be overwhelming, because of it provides too much of features, it is pretty distracted and confused what will be the best option to perform analysis.

Altair HyperWorks - Powerful and Efficient Simulation Solutions

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company provides mechanical engineering and product development services for a variety of industries. We use HyperWorks as our primary analysis and optimization tool, most notable for our FEA and CFD analysis needs. The suite of software addresses nearly all of our simulation requirements and it's nice to have all the necessary tools in one package.

Pros

  • All-inclusive software suite
  • Wide breadth of capabilities and custom scripting
  • Highly efficient and scalable solvers/computation

Cons

  • User interface is improving, but not always intuitive; varies across tools
  • Steep learning curve
  • Cost may be out of reach for some, but relatively inexpensive if you need all the tools it includes (vs. paying for each tool individually)

Likelihood to Recommend

Engineering firms and companies with needs for multiple disciplines of analysis capabilities on a regular basis will benefit from HyperWorks. Companies with short term engineering needs (less than 6 months) or who only need a particular analysis/simulation discipline may be better off using a consultant (who likely uses HyperWorks).
