Collier Research Corp. (Newport News, VA) released HyperSizer version 5.3, a structural sizing and optimization software that includes improved orthogrid-stiffened panel-concept analysis, automatically generated stress reports, and other improvements and updates.
HyperSizer v5.3 can analyze orthogrid-stiffened panels used in such industry projects as the NASA Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) large hydrogen tank, and the NASA Orion Crew Module. It can generate automated stress reports for projects, components, and assemblies including figures, equations, sample calculations, and summary margin-of-safety tables. Its stress reports (see a sample stress report) are automatically generated in a user’s Microsoft Word 2002-2007 program and can be easily customized and distributed.
This new version of HyperSizer can centrally set database default values for all analysis methods, independent of any particular project and apply values for any component-based data (e.g., load factors, buckling knockdowns, failure methods, etc.) from the current component to all components in a group, an assembly, a project, or multiple projects.
