Browsers
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in HyperMesh 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.
Part Browser
Use the Part Browser to create, organize and manage the CAE part structure/hierarchy.

Browsers
Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality in HyperMesh 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.
- Basic Browser Operations
  Learn the basics of working with browsers.
- Assembly Browser
  Use the Assembly Browser to manage parts and modules during the assembly building process.
- Connector Browser
  Use the Connector Browser to view and modify connectors in the current model.
- Contact Browser
  Use the Contact Browser to create, review and modify contact interfaces and surfaces in a model.
- Entity Editor
  The Entity Editor enables you to quickly view and edit entities in a model and correctly setup solver information.
- Entity State Browser
  Use the Entity State Browser to set various states for entities in a model.
- Loadsteps Browser
  Use the Loadsteps Browser to create, manage and display loadsteps (sub-cases) and the associated control cards.
- Mask Browser
  In the Mask Browser, set the mask/unmask state for entities at the entity configuration level.
- Mass Trimming Browser
  Use the Mass Trimming tool to create, define and realize mass entities.
- Matrix Browser
  Use the Matrix Browser to explore the HyperMesh and HyperView data entities and export the entities to external files for further analysis.
- Model Browser
  Use the Model Browser to view the model structure while providing full find, display and editing control of entities.
- Model Checker
  Check the solver validity of the model, identify modeling issues, and fix modeling issues in an automatic or manual way.
- Part Browser
  Use the Part Browser to create, organize and manage the CAE part structure/hierarchy.
  - View Modes
  - Query Builder
    Use the query builder to find and filter entities by building advanced filters for attributes listed in browser columns.
  - Context Menu
    Use the Part Browser context menu to invoke key functions and visualization options. Options vary based on the entity type selected.
  - Entity Editor
    Edit part and component attributes in the Entity Editor.
  - Workflow Batch
    The Part Browser can be used to batch the model build workflow.
  - Solver Specific Details
    - Abaqus
      In addition to importing and exporting, HyperMesh allows setting-up analysis conditions required to run a simulation in Abaqus solver. Almost all required analysis conditions such as contacts, constraints, analysis step definition, and output requests can be set-up via the imported Abaqus parts and instances format input files.
- Reference Browser
  The Reference Browser enables you to quickly understand complex relationships between different entities that constitute the model.
- Solver Browser
  The Solver Browser provides a solver centric view of the model structure in a flat, listed tree structure.
- Subsystem Browser
  Create, organize and manage the CAE subsystem level models using any entities.
- Utility Menus
  The Utility menu contains options that allow you to customize the standard interface to include function buttons, radio options, and text that have HyperMesh-supplied and user-defined macros associated with them.
- Visualization Controls
  Use the Visualization controls to change many of the visual states in HyperMesh and HyperView.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Learn about the different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize, and manage the CAE parts.
Model Verification
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Composites
HyperMesh composites and tools.
Model Setup
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morphing
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in HyperMesh.
Conversion Between Solver Formats
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
XY Plotting
