Windows Command Shell

A command shell is made available for quick and easy access to Helius PFA commands and utilities (e.g. xStiff).

The command shell can be opened via the "Autodesk Helius PFA 20XX.X Command Shell" desktop or start menu shortcut. From here the following important utilities can be accessed from any directory:

• ansys-helius - Utility for starting Helius PFA for Ansys
• make-heliusU - Utility for creating user subroutine libraries
• matman - Command line version of Composite Material Manager
