HyperWorks Design Explorer 2022.3

The 2022.3 release of the HyperWorks Design Explorer contains a number of enhancements and improvements.  The primary driver of the Design Explorer has been to provide a simple, easy-to-use set of tools that make exploration available to all users.  In that vein, some of the new enhancements improve usability.  With such a simple, easy-to-use workflow, users are often asked to sacrifice more powerful, generalized features.  With that in mind, some recent enhancements are aimed at providing new and more general ways to create design variables and responses.   Finally, as always, we continue to work to add more new and novel AI tools to the DE workflow.  This release contains enhancements to the existing clustering feature, and is a significant step on the path to fully supporting the powerful expertAI tools.

The video below is from a recent release webinar related to all of the topics above.  Please watch it to see all of the DE-related updates available in the 2022.3 release.  I hope you’ll find the entire video interesting and informative, but to better help you navigate to portions of interest, here is a rough guide to the content:
