Tutorials (India)
These online tutorials are best viewed in video form. If you have an unreliable internet connection, you should download the PDF version instead. The tutorials are based on queries raised by users of HyperWorks (archived here), and cover several HyperWorks modules: HyperMesh, HyperView, HyperGraph, OptiStruct, Radioss/Linear, Radioss/Explicit, MotionView and MotionSolve. They also cover different applications – finite element analysis, stress analysis, analysis of mechanisms or multi-bodies, dynamic analysis, hydroforming, tube bending, etc.
