HyperSizer Basic™ includes all the functionality of HyperSizer Material Manager™, such as composite laminate analysis, and adds stress analysis and detailed design optimization for over 50 different stiffened and sandwich panel and beam concepts. Any material or cross sectional dimension can be optimized to all load cases. Apply general edge loadings and/or boundary conditions through the Free Body Diagram software tab and solve for the resulting stresses and structural integrity using over 100 different failure analyses. Analyses include traditional industry methods and modern analytical and numerical solutions.
o50 different panel and beam concepts: i.e. integral blade, hat and Z shaped stiffened panels, honeycomb sandwich, isogrid, I beam, C channel
