Download HyperWorks 12.0 Release Notes

Boolean Operations
New solid objects can be created by performing Boolean operations to combine, subtract or intersect
sets of objects.
Maximum Thickness Control
Users can control wall thicknesses and the diameters of beam-like structures in a generated shape by
specifying a minimum and/or maximum thickness.
Frequency Targets
Design concepts can be optimized to maximize or meet specified frequency targets.
Faster Shape Exploration
The shape exploration function is now controlled by a single material slider.
Perspective/Orthogonal Projections
Users can switch between perspective and orthogonal views for more precise sketching.
Align to Closest Axis
Models also can be aligned to the closest principal axis when oriented arbitrarily.
Improved Geometry Capture
Powerful new internal algorithm results in higher quality design concepts.
Altair HyperWorks Integration
Files generated by Inspire can be exported to HyperMesh for validation and advanced structural
analyses.
64 bit Executable
A 64-bit executable is available for Windows 7, Vista and XP.
Enable/Disable Rotate Constraints on Holes
Rotations are now enabled for constraints located on holes.
Japanese Version
Inspire is available in native Japanese language.
