Hi all,
I used HyperMesh to prepare Abaqus models in my previous job, but in my current one I work directly in Abaqus/CAE. I'm wondering whether the difference is mostly down to familiarity, or whether HyperMesh offers something Abaqus/CAE can't match even with more experience.
When does a dedicated preprocessor add real value for an Abaqus workflow, and when is it not worth it?
I'd really like to hear how it feels in practice for those who've used both. What do you miss, or not miss, when you switch?
