Midsurfaces, Plates, and Mapping Thickness

cfree

Altair HyperWorks has great tools for creating midsurfaces. This video introduces the quick, easy, and semi-automated processes of creating a midsurface, editing its plates, and mapping thickness from the source geometry to a mesh created on the midsurface.

In this video you will learn:

• How to use the Automatic Midsurfaces tool to quickly generate a base midsurface
• What Plates are and how you can use them to fine-tune your midsurface
• How to use the Map Thickness tool to automate thickness assignment on complicated parts
