The HyperMesh Card Image panel is used to define solver specific data and review card information. The format of the cards and the menus in the panel are defined in the export template, using HyperMesh Card Preview Commands.
Indicates the beginning of the Control Cards list.
Indicates the beginning of the description used for the card previewer.
Repeats execution of a block of code a specified number of times.
Specifies the name and tag attribute for a Control Card.
Indicates the end of the Control Cards list.
Indicates the ending of the description used for the card previewer.
Terminates the code block to be executed by *beginrepeat().
Terminates the code block to be executed by *beginrepeat2d().
Creates an enumeration.
Used to specify that each real, integer, and string attribute is modified as per the *menudefaultvalue().
Initializes an attribute to a specified value upon creation of an entity.
Sets the value of attribute.
The *menucase() command specifies a block of card image template commands that are executed when an attribute has the value matching the *menucase() command.
Sets the value of the local counter.
Modifies an attribute field so that it has an on/off status.
Used to define the false block of a *menuif() statement.
Used to define the end of an *menuif() block.
Modifies an attribute field so that the contents of the selection must be of the specified entity type in the HyperMesh database.
Modifies an attribute field so that the selection must be an ID of an entity of a specified type in the HyperMesh database.
Modifies an attribute field so that its value is displayed as and restricted to an enumeration's values.
Places a formatted value from the database into the card image.
Used to conditionally execute branches in the card image.
Sets the initial values of an attribute.
Sets the initial value of an attribute if the attribute does not currently exist on the entity.
Modifies an attribute field so that a selection must be made from a list.
Ends the current line in the card image.
Specifies that the value of an attribute can only be 0 or 1.
Terminates a *menuoption() or *menuoptionenum() command.
Specifies that the value of an attribute is defined by a previously defined *enumeration() command.
Sets the initial value of a pointer.
Modifies an attribute field so that it alerts you when a value is outside of a specified range.
Displays a string in the card image.
Sets a variable to a specific value.
Specifies that the card image definition is in a following block.
Specifies a counter to store the current repeat value for a *beginrepeat() or *beginrepeat2d() command.
Sets the right margin so that no field goes beyond in a *beginrepeat()/*endrepeat() block.
