makeCustomToolsets()

This method has no base class implementation; it may be used by customizers to construct Abaqus/CAE toolsets or toolsets derived from Abaqus/CAE toolsets; constructing those toolsets in this method is necessary to insure that the toolset will be available to standard Abaqus/CAE modules that register that toolset, and to avoid creating duplicate widgets when the toolset is used by a custom toolset.

registerHelpToolset(tool, opts)

Registers the Help toolset.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
tool	AFXToolsetGui		Pointer to toolset being registered.
opts	Int		Options for creating toolset GUI components.

registerModule(displayedName, moduleName)

Registers a module to make it available in the module combo; Uses predefined initialization strings for Abaqus modules.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
displayedName	String		English Name of the module.
moduleName	String		Python module name.

registerModule(displayedName, moduleName, kernelInitializationCommand)

Registers a module to make it available in the module combo; also registers the initialization string to be sent to the kernel the first time the module is loaded.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
displayedName	String		English Name of the module.
moduleName	String		Python module name.
kernelInitializationCommand	String		Python command sent to kernel on module load

registerToolset(tool, opts)

Registers a toolset that is always available in the main window.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
tool	AFXGuiObjectManager		Pointer to the object being registered.
opts	Int		Options for creating toolset GUI components.

setApplicabilityForTreeTab(name, moduleNames)

Sets the modules that are applicable to the given tree tab. When switching modules, if the current tab is applicable to the new module, it will remain current. When a tree tab is created, it is applicable to all modules--use this method to set the applicability to only certain modules.
