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 and Cons

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

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.

Very handy
