Process Manager
Use the Process Manager to rapidly develop and deploy process automation applications for standard product engineering practices within the HyperWorks environment using the Process Manager.
The Process Manager is a programmable task management software that guides you through pre-defined standard work processes.

Stand-alone Process Manager is not to be confused with Process Manager running from within stand-alone HyperMesh. Stand-alone Process Manager will be used widely in processes that do not primarily use HyperWorks.
Process Studio is a process authoring tool that allows you to create a process template (.pmt) with customized controls for use in Process Manager. The user interface for each task in a process, also known as a HWPM Page, is created by dragging and dropping HWPM Controls and "stitching" them together. The process tree can also be created interactively, and each task can be associated with a HWPM Page. Each task can be associated with a Tcl module also, if an already programmed module exists. Programmers can add to the suite of available HWPM Controls by writing Java Beans.
The Framework includes a robust set of APIs that each of the modules mentioned above has the ability to access.
