Labeling is a convenient way to associate groups of related contents together so they can be easily retrieved and viewed as a set. For example, you may wish to label a HyperMesh model, a solver deck, and its corresponding results files for a baseline simulation. You may wish to subsequently label a revised version of the same HyperMesh model and solver deck with their corresponding results for a different iteration.
