    - 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.

    - STEP Reader
    - VDAFS 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 HyperMesh. 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.
- CAD Export
  Learn about the CAD readers supported by HyperMesh and the options available for exporting CAD geometry data.
- CAD Update
  In this section you will learn about updating CAD metadata and parameters.
Browsers
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.
Panels
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
Meshing
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Connectors
Create connections between parts of your model.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Model Verification
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.
Crash and Safety
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Composites
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Model Setup
Overview of how to build a finite element model.
Morphing
Morph the shape of your finite element model.
Optimization
Setup an Optimization in HyperMesh.
Conversion Between Solver Formats
Convert finite element models to another solver format.
