Getting Started with HyperMesh

HyperMesh Graphical User Interface

Click the highlighted areas to see information on the different areas of the HyperMesh interface.

Toolbars

Each toolbar contains a group of icon buttons that you can use to perform the most common HyperMesh tasks. You can dock each toolbar to any of the toolbar locations, or you can undock them so that they appear in a free-floating window within HyperMesh. Many toolbars are common to both HyperMesh and other HyperWorks Desktop applications

Tab Area

The primary use for tabs in HyperMesh is to house browsers. You may still encounter other tabs, such as file import/export tabs, while using HyperMesh--but these are common features that appear in multiple HyperWorks Desktop applications, and are not specific to HyperMesh itself. See the Browsers section of this module for additional information.

Menu Bar

The menu bar, located just beneath the title bar, enables access to many types of HyperMesh functionality. You can use most of the menu options to access HyperMesh panels, but you can also use some options to perform other tasks such as configuring the layout of the HyperMesh environment.
