User profiles in HyperMesh automatically manage the loading of templates and FE-input readers for a given solver interface in the current HyperMesh session. User profiles also customize the Utility menus and the panels that are available during the current HyperMesh session. HyperMesh is shipped with support for several user profiles including:
Abaqus (Standard 2D/3D/Explicit)
A user profile should be selected before opening a HyperMesh database file or importing a solver deck. Select a user profile using the user profile icon on the Standard toolbar. Once a user profile is selected, it is recommended to not change it while the current HyperMesh database is populated. To safely switch user profiles, first start a new HyperMesh database using the new .hm file icon on the standard toolbar, then switch the user profile.
Note: | Selecting a user profile does NOT convert a currently populated HyperMesh database to the selected solver interface. For the purpose of converting the current HyperMesh database to another solver interface use the Tools > Convert menu item on menu bar. |
