Overview of external readers and the Altair Binary Format, the generic ASCII reader, running HyperWorks in batch mode, using Tcl/Tk commands, translators, and result math.
The HyperWorks Desktop scripting interface is a set of Tcl/Tk commands that follow a simple and consistent syntax.
Tcl/Tk classes for the following HyperWorks Desktop applications.
View new features for HyperWorks Desktop 2019.
Learn the basics and discover the workspace.
Discover HyperWorks Desktop functionality with interactive tutorials.
Start HyperWorks Desktop and configure the applications.
Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
Control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
Use the Session Browser to view the current session and all the pages and windows it contains in a hierarchical display.
Publish Session allows you to save the current session as an HTML file or a Microsoft PowerPoint file.
Use the Parameters Browser to parameterize the contents of a session file or report template and automate a variety of analysis processes with the Parameters Browser.
Automate common workflows using the Process Manager or Automate tool.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.
Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.
A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The Altair ASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.
Batch mode allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.
External resources can be registered in preference files, session files, or Templex files. If an external resource is registered in a program session, it is automatically registered in the session file when the session is saved.
APIs can be used to perform various actions in HyperWorks. For example, the AddPage API can be used to add a page within the project.
