Creating Solver Templates

Organization
A template file is organized into blocks and when outputting a database, HyperMesh processes a template on a per-block basis. Blocks are output in the order that they are defined in the template file.
Data Entry and Access
Template files allow you to access information from the HyperMesh database with two methods, data names and attributes.
Mathematical Expressions
Template files can also contain mathematical expressions.
Equalities, Inequalities and Logical Expressions
Templates contain functions to test values, perform conditional statement execution, or control the template flow.
Functions
The HyperMesh Template Functions are available to query information in the database, perform mathematical functions, and query user-defined tables. A template function begins with the symbol @ and is followed by the variable arguments in parentheses. Template functions are always placed between square brackets [].
Previewing Cards
Card images are described by a template file block. You can display the card image using the card previewer.
