  2. HyperMesh Introduction: Starting Directory • By default, HyperMesh uses the “start directory” for files • Reads configuration files (hm.mac, hmmenu.set, etc.) • Writes history (command.cmf) • Open/save HyperMesh model, FE data, and geometry data files • Start directory determined by: • On PC, specified by the program’s icon • Right click the icon • Go to Properties • Go to the Shortcut tab • A path is specified for Start In: • On UNIX: • Start directory is the directory where you typed the command to run HyperMesh • If configuration files are not found in the start directory, HyperMesh will then look in the user’s “home” directory
