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.
This API allows external applications to link HyperMesh as a library and provides a limited set of functions and structures to access specific functionality.
This section contains details on general HyperWorks Desktop scripting concepts, along with documentation on the Tcl commands that can be used to query and modify the database and GUI.

HyperWorks 13.0 has been upgraded to use new compilers on
Linux. This means that users compiling custom FE Input and
Result Readers, or ExtAPI programs, need to be aware of the following compiler support:
Windows: Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel)
Linux: GCC version 4.7.2 20121015 (Red Hat 4.7.2-5)
(GCC)
Mac OS X: clang version 3.1 (tags/Apple/clang-318.0.58) based on LLVM 3.1svn

argument to specify an allowable depth for finding and reporting
interferences.
