HyperMesh Help Manual

Home
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.
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.
PAM-CRASH 2G Utility Menu
The PAM-CRASH 2G Utility menu (pamcrash2G.mac) contains shortcuts and tools that help simplify PAM-CRASH 2G tasks.
