Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting, which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Explore the different types of mesh you can create in HyperMesh and create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.

FreePart check detects the components in a model that are not connected to any other component through ID connectors or shared nodes.
Spot Comparison check compares two spot connector files using the Model Verification tool.
The CSV comparison tool compares CAD/FE attributes against the CSV file column.
Multiple Checks perform multiple checks using a single interface.
