Why HyperMesh?
HyperMesh (by Altair) is a leading FEA pre-processing software used to convert CAD geometry into high-quality finite element meshes for use in solvers like ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus and LS-DYNA. It is especially important in automotive crash/safety analysis and aerospace structural analysis, where mesh quality directly affects simulation accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not exactly — HyperMesh is primarily a pre-processing/meshing tool; the actual simulation is run in a solver such as ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus or LS-DYNA, with HyperMesh preparing the mesh and model setup for that solver.
Poor mesh quality leads to inaccurate or unreliable simulation results, even if the solver settings are correct; that's why this course spends significant time on mesh quality checks and cleanup techniques.
