New User Interface for HyperMesh
The objective for this project is to define a user profile that will allow users from the novice to expert
level to run a broad range of simple analyses [with RADIOSS (Bulk Format) as the solver in the
background].
Moreover we aim to bring the power of our solver to a wider user base using a streamlined process
based approach.
