Batch Mode
Using HgTrans, you can convert all or a subset of data from a native file format to Altair Binary Format (ABF) via the batch mode process.
To start a batch mode process, run hgtrans.exe in a DOS command prompt on a PC or use hgtrans from a Unix shell. If you do not specify complete arguments in the command line, the defaults will be used.
hgtrans.exe is located in the following directories:
- PC
- \\Altair\hw\bin\win64
- Unix
- /altair/scripts/
| Option/<Parameter> | Description |
|---|---|
| -a | Translates all results to an ABF file without a configuration file. |
| -c<config file> | The name of the configuration file(s).
-c<config file> and -c [space] <config file> are equal. |
| -help or -h | Help. |
| -o<output file> | The name of the ABF output file. |
| <result file> | The name of the result file. |
| -tho | Translates ODB results into an ABF file with only Time History Output -tho. |
| -z [percent]<None|Standard|High> | Amount of lossless zlib compression. This does not effect load time in HyperGraph but does slow down the HgTrans translation. |
No options launch the HgTrans GUI.
