Introduction
This chapter documents the functions that are used in the implementation of the File, Group, Viewport, Viewing, Display and Tools items on the menu bar.
This chapter presents function descriptions in six separate sections:
 
This section is used to describe some of the functions used to import and export model geometry files to and from files that can be used by various types of CAD systems.
This section is used to describe functions that are used to create, delete, modify and transform groups of geometric and finite element model entities.
This section is used to describe functions that are used to create, delete, modify and retrieve the settings of named viewports.
This section is used to describe functions that are used to create, delete, modify and retrieve the settings of named views.
This section is used to describe functions that are used to control what and how geometric and finite element model entities are displayed in a viewport.
This section is used to describe functions that used to create and manipulate lists of geometric and finite element model entities using the list processor and the list processor format. It is also used to describe some of the functions that can be used to create and report the mass properties associated with a model.
