The MSC.SuperModel user interface is shown below. You can access MSC.SuperModel through three locations located on the top menu bar:

FM replaces File on the MSC.Patran menu.

SM Tools is a pulldown menu and all functionality under this selection may be concurrently accessed.

The MSC.SuperModel Main Menu is accessed by selecting the MSC.SuperModel application (SuperModel ). This menu is replaced by the user interface to the specific tool selected on the main form (e.g., Reduced Stiffness and Mass). Only one functionality may be accessed at a time.

If another application is selected while the MSC.SuperModel Main Menu or specific functionality accessed from the main menu is open (e.g., Geometry), the MSC.SuperModel form is closed. After returning to the MSC.SuperModel application, control is returned to the previously selected MSC.SuperModel functionality.

The user interface to the selected functionality has an Apply and Cancel button at the bottom, as illustrated below. Apply causes the desired action to be performed. Cancel closes the specific tool and returns control to the MSC.SuperModel main menu.
