What is HyperX Aerospace Software?
HyperX is structural analysis and design software developed for the aerospace and defense industry. The software helps engineers analyze and design laminates, ply shapes, sandwich panels, stiffened panels, grid-stiffened panels, bolted joints, and bonded joints using aerospace industry standard methods for both composite and metal structure.
HyperX is a companion to your finite element solver for performing detailed stress analysis on thousands of load cases for hundreds of analytical failure methods. It automatically generates Excel and Word stress reports along with equations and margin-of-safety summaries.
HyperX provides intuitive workflows for individual structural analysts and teams to mature their structure from a conceptual design all the way to part release. It provides a seamless process for performing sizing optimization using the same detailed analyses required for certification.
Its database contains the entirety of a project’s material systems, fastener vendor data, analysis policies, and design space.
