2021.2
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.
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.
The Utility menu for the OptiStruct user profile contains, in addition to the default Utility menus, three pages (Summary, FEA and Opti) of specific utilities for OptiStruct.
Macros available on the FEA page of the OptiStruct Utility menu.
