The Load option on the Session menu provides an interface for reading restart files from a prior session. The Browse button provides access to the Select File form, which may be used to perform an orderly search through multiple directories and/or files with the same suffix. Files saved in HyperXtrude are given the .phx suffix by default. Once the proper directory/filename appears in the Selection window, click on the desired file name (which will automatically place it in the File name: text area) and then select Open. This closes the Select File window and places the entire path of the selected file in the Filename text area on the Filename tab form.

Apply reads in the selected step shown in the Selection window. |
