Explore the HyperWorks user interface.
The ribbon allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of HyperWorks. Click on an icon to open the related tool. Hovering over a group of icons may reveal additional tools.
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in HyperWorks by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
The modeling window is where your model is displayed.
The status bar displays information pertaining to the currently loaded model as well as descriptions of pages and panels.
Context menus are floating menus that are accessed by right-clicking on elements in the user interface. They provides immediate access to a short list of commands that are contextually relevant to the selection.
Guide bars guide you through a series of commands, required inputs, and options necessary to complete a workflow that is specific to a tool.
The Tcl Console enables you to enter and execute Tcl/Tk commands instead of using the user interface.
The Message Log lists the actions performed in the current session. The dialog also provides you with information about your file (warnings, errors, and so on).
Command files can be used to create new command scripts that perform automation, or to recover previously performed steps.
