Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality 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.
A part is an engineering representation of a physical part, and a part assembly is a group of part assemblies and/or
parts. Part Instances, which are recognized from PDM, are automatically converted to Part Instances on import into
HyperMesh.
The part assembly can be saved as a self-contained binary file, which will include the part assembly based hierarchy
and attributes such as components, properties, and materials.
All BOM-related information, including part/assembly hierarchy, part attributes, and representation information is organized
and displayed in the Part Browser.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Organize part assemblies, parts, and components in your model.
Entity organization rules are as follows:
The Model is the root of the hierarchy in the browser. It represents the contents of
the HyperMesh binary file and can contain part assemblies,
parts, and components.
A part assembly can contain part assemblies and parts.
A part can only contain components.
Reorganize part assemblies, parts, and components in the Part Browser.
From the Part Browser, left-click on an entity and drag and
drop it to a new location.
In Figure 1, Component B is being reorganized into Part B.
Reorganize components into a new part using the Organize panel.
From the Tool page, click the Organize panel,
Parts subpanel.
Use the comps selector to select the component(s) to move.
In the dest part field, select the part to move the selected components into.
