Hi B)

I made this package to help creating user toolbars: 

It is useful for someone has many scripts and wants them to be available by one clicking on HM GUI

Please notice me if any bug occurs.

example:

    Yes, there is. But at least we need to add a package index file in hm home as an entry point for auto-start, or you have to add source $tboptsfile to hmcustom.tcl, or source it each time open hypermesh

    I will make an Installer that help to select user's folder to install tbopts, this is better than you have to make it your self

    I updated it with an installer.tcl file. Just copy folder tbopts to your own location, open hypermesh and File>Run>Tcl/Tk Scripts to run Installer.tcl

    folder .../hm/script need to be writable, because pkgIndex will be copied there

    Hi tinh,

     

    Could you please tell me how to encrypt the .tcl file as you did?

    Is there any free software available for encrypting?

    Hello Tinh,

     

    I tried to use your script in my work enviroment, where I'm using multiple hmcustom files. I don't want (and cannot) modify most of them. 

    I would like to modify only the certain one. The one I've created and added (by appending the enviromental variable) myself.

     

    I have managed to add 'tbopt' script in this file manually (basing on your instalation scripts). Now i would like to make your script to modify only the certain hmcustom file in the process of adding toolbars and buttons. Can you show me the way?

     

    Regards,
    Michal

    Hi

    Tbopts.tcl does not modify hmcustom.tcl

    Just installer.tcl does

    Hello, @tinh May I please get your email id so I can contact you directly for any query?

     

    Also, I would like to know if there are control cards to call a .txt file for contact deformation/contact sliding distance and stress?

     

    Thank you,
