      - NX Reader
        NX import is available through two different readers: UGOpen native reader and a third-party non-native reader.
        
        NX Native Reader
        The NX reader utilizes the UGOpen library to read files from NX.
        
        NX Third Party Reader
        The NX Third Party reader does not need a valid NX installation or license to access these libraries.
      - Parasolid Reader
      - Rhino Reader
      - SolidWorks Reader
      - STEP Reader
    - CAD Import Options
      CAD readers provide options for processing data during import.
    - CAD Import Message Files
      Each reader reads the CAD file and sends the geometry information to HyperWorks CFD. When a CAD file is read, a .msg file is created (or appended to) in the current working directory.
    - CAD Import Difficulties
      Learn about possible difficulties you may encounter during CAD import.
    - CAD Metadata Naming
      The metadata names generated by the CAD readers are composed of a general prefix followed by a metadata specific name. The prefix is specified using the @MetadataPrefix option in each _reader.ini file.
  - Solver Deck Import
    Import FE models for supported solver interfaces.
  - Results Import
    Use reader options to control the behavior of the code when reading results from disk.
- Save Files
  Save all of the data in your current session.
- Export Files
  Export FE data in your current session.
- Take a Screen Capture
  Record a video or take a snapshot of the screen.
