The title bar displays the name of the file that is currently opened, along with the active product and user profile.
The main display area of the user interface is called a page. Each page can contain up to 16 windows.
The ribbon allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of the user interface. Click on an icon to open the related tool. Hovering over a group of icons may reveal additional tools.
The modeling window is where your model is displayed.
The status bar displays information pertaining to the currently loaded model, active tools, current collectors, and snap filter options.
Use the toolbelt to quickly access frequently used tools.
Context menus are floating menus that are accessed by right-clicking on elements in the user interface. They provides immediate access to a short list of commands that are contextually relevant to the selection.
Guide bars guide you through a series of commands, required inputs, and options necessary to complete a workflow that is specific to a tool.
Overview of the HyperView commands that can be entered in the Tcl Console to manipulate the model.

Creates the curve on the given plot's page.
Captures the screen of the external window and saves it to a user-defined file.
Erases the content in the plot window.
Erases the curve in the plot page area.
Scales the x axis and/or the y axis to fit with the curve displayed.
Returns entity specific properties.
Gets number of curves
Gets value associated with the corresponding metadata.
Returns the plot type.
Changes the curve and axes' properties.
Adds metadata on curve based on the given index.
Sets the plot type for curve editor.
Shows or hides the legend. Value can be displayed on top of each bar for bar charts only.
The Intellisense window allows you to quickly locate commands for a given handle, as well as their parameters.
The HWC Console, with the command line, supports auto-completion and interactive help and allows easy modification and re-execution of commands.
The Message Log lists the actions performed in the current session. The dialog also provides you with information about your file (warnings, errors, and so on).
Command files can be used to create new command scripts that perform automation, or to recover previously performed steps.
Certain parts of the user interface, such as browsers, toolbars, and panels, can be undocked and repositioned as needed.
AI assistant for Altair HyperWorks.
View controls enable you to control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
Quickly find and open the tools and browsers that are available from the ribbons, as well as create entities and solver cards.
Select and deselect entities to modify with other tools. Selected entities are outlined to indicate their selection state.
Translate, rotate, and align the model.
Use the Measure tool to measure length, angles, radii, areas, volumes, centers of gravity, and bounding boxes.
Learn how to manipulate entities.
Undo and redo actions.
Default keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls.
Supported SpaceBall or SpaceMouse devices.
Learn more about the Altair HyperWorks suite of products with interactive tutorials.
Start and configure the applications.
View a list of deprecated panels and their newer, equivalent workflows.
Create, open, import, and save models.
Set up sessions and create report templates.
Solver interfaces supported in HyperMesh.
A solver interface is made up of a template and a FE-input reader.
Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting, which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Explore the different types of mesh you can create in HyperMesh and create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Setup an Optimization in HyperMesh.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Models require loads and boundary conditions in order to represent the various physics and/or physical equivalents to bench and in-use testing.
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Use airbag folder utilities and export a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperMesh-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or remeshing and without design variables.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
The Developer ribbon contains tools for automation and customization.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.
MediaView plays video files, displays static images, tracks objects, and measures distances.
Use TableView to create an Excel-like spreadsheet.
