Highlights of the
HyperStudy 12.0 Release
HyperStudy enables users to explore, understand and improve their system designs using methods such
as design-of-experiments and optimization. HyperStudy generates intelligent variations of the parameters
of any system model and reveals relationships between these parameters and the system responses.
Using HyperStudy, users can make better decisions and optimize the performance, reliability and
robustness of their systems.
HyperWorks 12.0 introduces an enhanced and updated version of HyperStudy. The new version of
HyperStudy merges the strengths of the classic HyperStudy along with new simulation technology and an
improved user experience.
• The improved Study Explorer guides you through the study process, following the steps a typical
engineer goes through to evaluate a design. You are asked to identify inputs and outputs, and then
specify what you want to learn about the design under investigation, such as optimal values, tradeoff
options, or directional guidance.
• Entering, monitoring and reviewing data has been simplified through the use of tables. Tables
provide convenient features such as sorting, cutting and pasting, and filtering to help you
manipulate and understand your models and results better.
• Study sessions are still saved to an .xml file and new in 12.0, the “DataSet” for each approach
in the study is now stored in a self-contained and open relational database. This storage method
facilitates faster I/O and more flexible post-processing.
• The study directory structure has been updated for consistency and allows for easier automation.
