This portion of the interface contains drop-down menus and the toolbar.
File menu |

Create a new session |
|||||||
Open |
Browse for and load a new BOM file. HyperMesh checks for the standard headers Part Name, Part ID, Material, Material ID, and Gauge. If all are found, details populate the relevant fields in the BOM comparison tool. If any are missing, you will be prompted to select the heading from the BOM file that corresponds to each standard header. |
||||||||
Show Failed |
Display all the invalid records that the tool encounters while reading a BOM file in a table. Only valid records from a BOM file display in the BOM Display Section’s table. Invalid records can be edited to form valid data and can be moved to the BOM Display table. |
||||||||
Save and Export |
Save and export the current information shown in the BOM Display section as a new BOM csv file in a user selected location. |
||||||||
Exit |
Close the BOM Comparison Tool. |
||||||||
Edit menu |
Update Model |
Update the model attributes to match the BOM. |
|||||||
Complete BOM |
Sometimes the BOM doesn’t contain all of the data you want. If the corresponding model contains the missing data, you can complete the BOM data by querying the database and extracting the data. Use the Complete BOM operation to either complete an existing BOM, or generate a new BOM by querying the model in the current session. This option opens a new window listing the items to be added to the BOM file. You can select additional items from a combo box, or type a new header into it and add them, or click an item already in the list and insert the new item just above it. You may also select items in the list and delete them from the file. Once you have added or deleted all necessary entries, click Continue to generate the new file. |
||||||||
Check Model |
Checks the model against the BOM. This option switches the BOM Display Section to Comparison mode if it is currently in BOM View mode (see below). |
||||||||
