HW 13.0.110 and includes HyperWorks Desktop13.0.113_hotfix.

HyperMesh
New Features and Enhancements
Connectors
 A new option has been added to the spot connectors. It uses normal direction of the closest link
to determine links. In certain situations with many small component patches like rib patterns,
wrong links were identified. With this option activated, the link determination follows a search
direction.
 For certain CWELD types the option “centered quad” has been added. If activated, a centered
quad is created on both sides of the CWELD around the projection points. The mesh is very
locally remeshed to satisfy this request. The quad size can precisely be defined.

HyperGraph
Resolved Issues
 In polar plots, the phase angle will no longer change when the reference value for magnitude is
unequal to 1 for dB-scaled curves.
 When different start- and end- index values are used in the same session, using the BuildPlots
panel to trim the curves during import of the curves could have been empty.

Introduction
HyperWorks Desktop13.0.113_hotfix contains enhancements and bug fixes for HyperMesh,
HyperGraph, HyperView, MediaView, Model Identification Tool and NVH (Packaged Solution Offering).
The details are documented below.
Note: HyperWorks Desktop13.0.113_hotfix is a cumulative release. It should be installed on top of
HW 13.0.110 and includes HyperWorks Desktop13.0.112_hotfix.

HyperMesh
New Features and Enhancements
General
 Within the browser include view, a new include file export option to control comments is
available.
CAD
 CATIA v5-6R2015 (R25)
 PTC Creo 2.0 M140 and 3.0 M030
 SolidWorks 2015 on Windows and Linux (2014 on MAC)
o There is a known third-party library issue where reading certain SolidWorks 2015 files
may crash the application. Please exhibit caution and save your work before reading
any SolidWorks 2015 files.

Resolved Issues
General
 Crash related to binary file save for models containing incorrect hierarchy.
CAD
 Resolved a JT reader issue where certain solid geometries were not editable after import into
HM.
Connectors
 Absorption of hexa seam and area connectors in conjunction with the usage of the “consider
single element cluster” option have been improved.

HyperWorks Desktop 13.0.114 Release Notes 4
HyperView
New Feature and Enhancement
 Support of PamCrash 2014

Resolved Issues
 HyperView 3Dconnexion support while animating on Windows has been fixed.
 Display of element marks under Preferences->Options ->Visualization was not working.
 View synchronization of windows was not working properly for certain models.
 Application crash when viewing stress results on a frequency response model with complex
corner data.
 Unexpected hang of HV when model file or h3d contains assembly information with circular
referencing (e.g. Assembly 1 is both parent and child of Assembly2).
 Issue with HyperView running separate concurrent sessions on a multiple GPU system under a
Linux system was fixed. This also resolves issues with Display Manager running HyperView with
multiple concurrent sessions.

HyperGraph
Resolved Issues
 In complex plots the conversion from real/imaginary to phase/magnitude for db-scaled complex
curves with a reference value will calculate the correct magnitude.
 Notes attached to dB-scaled complex curves no longer disappear at the moment a reference
value is assigned to the dB-scaling.
 Notes which are attached to a dB-scaled phase/magnitude complex curve with a reference value
now show the corresponding y-axis value when the expression {y} is used and no longer the
unscaled source value.
 Notes attached to the magnitude of complex curves will keep their attachment point when a
session is saved and reloaded.
 Complex curves based on math references for dB-scaled curves with a reference value were
scaled twice in previous builds. This issue is fixed.
 In the Build Plots panel, the pop-up window for X-requests now supports the same filter
features as for Y-requests.
 Performance for reader metadata support, which is required to use the Comparison and/or
Highlight Source Entity tools has been improved for files which contain millions of
curves. Specifically:
o For files with less than 300,000 metadata sets, we read the metadata in by default
o For files with more than 300,000 metadata sets we do not read metadata.
o If the user wants to read the metadata for files with more than 300,000 metadata sets,
or skip the reading totally the limit can be adjusted by setting an environment variable
HG_METADATA_LIMIT = <limit number of metadata sets>. There will be a performance
penalty if this setting is utilized with a higher limit.
o For HyperGraph 14.0 we intend to make this environment variable obsolete.
 In 13.0, when saving a template after reading a Dyna file that had labels for IDs, both the label
and ID information would be saved in the template file. This caused overlay issues, since the
template tried to match both Label and ID. The behavior has been reverted back to the pre-
13.0 behavior, wherein only the Label information, and not the actual ID, is saved in the
template. The ID now gets added as an attribute of the curve as metadata.

HyperWorks Desktop 13.0.114 Release Notes 5

 o If the user wants to load a session/report created with the 13.0 default setting into
13.0.113 he has either set the environment variable DYNA_REQUEST_TYPE to NAME_ID
or delete the ID’s manually out of the requests in the session/report file.

patched holes were not properly being considered

HyperView
New Features and Enhancements

 The text CornerData will be displayed in the legend title if the result plot is generated using
such data. Previous versions of HV did not provide this information in the legend.

 Video Overlay Enhancements:

Significant improvements have been made to the video overlay (Image Planes) functionality in this
release of HyperView. It is now possible to achieve a good overlay of Model and Video/Image by a
multiple point alignment scheme or by providing the properties of the camera that was used to
capture the image.

The multi-point alignment method has been added as a new tab under the 2D Image Plane section
and it works by allowing the user to pick points (pairs of pixels in the image and corresponding
nodes in the model). A minimum of seven points are required as input. It is also recommended that
points are picked at different depths and preferably towards the center of the image/video. The GUI
will show a dynamically updating error value to indicate to the user the quality of the selected
points. HyperView will then use the points to adjust the model size and orient it in the appropriate
view so that a good alignment is achieved between the model and the image/video.

In addition to the multi-point alignment method, one can also now input the camera position and
camera properties such as focal length, sensor height, if it is available, through the views entity in
the browser. This provides a more direct way of achieving alignment between model and image. A
new projection type under views called Lens has been added for this purpose.

Resolved Issue
 Last load case missing in H3D containing envelope of all load cases.

HyperGraph
Resolved Issue
 For some ISO files, units for acceleration was picked up as m/sec2 when the units were in g’s.
This has been fixed now.

Resolved Issue
 Regular and Formula sets are now retained as is during import and export
 Abaqus to OptiStruct conversion issue related to OptiStruct CBUSH local system assignment
when converting CONN3D elements from Abaqus.

Nastran Interface
Resolved Issue
 Sequential export of CQUAD elements

LS-Dyna Interface
New Enhancements
The cross section entity is newly introduced in 13.0.111. The following keywords are mapped to this
entity: *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION_SET; *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION_PLANE. These keywords
were supported prior to 13.0.111 but were mapped to a different entity (Group). Upon import the
following behavior is implemented:

 Solver deck: these keywords will be automatically mapped to the new entity without loss
 Legacy HyperMesh file: these keywords will be mapped from the old to the new entity without
loss
Note: As this entity is newly introduced in 13.0.111, a HyperMesh file saved in 13.0.111 cannot be read back in
prior versions without loss. The keywords mapped to these new entity will be lost. To reduce the risk of data loss it
is recommended to:

 Uninstall prior 13.0 versions after installing this hotfix

 Export the solver deck if data needs to be exchanged between 13.0.111 and prior versions

 Full support of *DEFINE_BOX_LOCAL

 New entity for *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION:

New Enhancements
Two entities are newly introduced: CrossSection and Box. The following keywords are mapped to
these entities:
 CrossSection: /SECT; /SECT/CIRCLE; /SECT/PARAL
 Box: /BOX/RECTA (RADIOSS)
Some of the keywords listed above were already supported prior to 13.0.111 but were mapped to a
different entity. Upon import the following behavior is implemented:

 Solver deck: these keywords will be automatically mapped to the new entity without loss
HyperWorks Desktop 13.0.114 Release Notes 14
  Legacy HyperMesh file: these keywords will be mapped from the old to the new entity without
loss
Note: As these entities are newly introduced in 13.0.111, a HyperMesh file saved in 13.0.111 cannot be read back
in prior versions without loss. The keywords mapped to these new entity will be lost. To reduce the risk of data
loss it is recommended to:

 Uninstall prior 13.0 versions after installing this hotfix

 Export the solver deck if data needs to be exchanged between 13.0.111 and prior versions

 User scripts pointing to the old entity for /SECT can be updated to create the new CrossSection
entity by adding the following lines are the end of the script:
set path [hm_info -appinfo SPECIFIEDPATH

Resolved Issues
 The cross section type /SECT/PARAL and /SECT/CIRCLE were translated if a single node
belonging to the element sets referred in those cross sections was selected for move. The
condition has been modified such that the cross section will be moved only if all the nodes of
the elements referred in the cross section are selected for move.
 When extracting connections from the model if a connection was found to contain more than 1
part but these parts used the same property/material then some of extracted elements were
deleted from the model
 The statistic panel in the LS-Dyna profile showed incorrect information
