        HMIN_init()
        Initializes hminlib. This function must be called before using any other function in hminlib.
        
        HMIN_overWriteEntity()
        Will overwrite or not overwrite entities when the option ‘FE overwrite’ is selected during feinput import.
        
        HMIN_readmodel()
        Allows hminlib to read in all of the entities in the database.
        
        HMIN_setduplicatenameseparator()
        Controls the way HyperWorks Desktop resolves the conflict when an incoming entity has the same name as an existing entity.
        
        HMIN_setsolver()
        Sets the solver type for feinput.
        
        HMIN_setviewangles()
        Sets the view to the desired angle as read in the translator.
