10.0-SA1-110 API Programmer's Guide

HM Ext API

Starting with version 10.0-SA1-110, a new API has been added to HyperMesh. This API allows external applications to link HyperMesh as a library and provides a limited set of functions and structures to access specific functionality in HyperMesh. See the Ext API documentation for full details. Currently, the API is only available on win32 and win64.
