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.
Mechanism Browser
Create and articulate a kinematic mechanism based on FE mesh using the Mechanism Browser.
