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.
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.
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 program reads a variety of ASCII and binary formats and have a template-based system that allows you to read formats which are not supported
internally. This template-based system uses a language called Import.
ABF and the program use a three-tier system comprised of datatypes, requests, and components. A file that does not
contain three tiers cannot be translated into Altair Binary Format unless it is restructured into three tiers.
The ABF library is used to write to Altair Binary Format files. Before you can write to an ABF file, it must first be initialized. Once the file is
initialized, you can create and open the file. When you write to an ABF file, the existing file is overwritten without
warning.
Once an Altair Binary Format file is created and opened, the structure of the data contained within the file must be specified.
The data structure and the data can be specified in one step or the data can be entered after the data structure
is specified.
Changes the ABF file header to reflect that an error occurred in translation (making the file unreadable) and imbeds a
message in the file which is displayed in the message log.

A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The AltairASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.
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.

abfError()
Changes the ABF file header to reflect that an error occurred in translation (making the file unreadable) and imbeds a message in the file which is displayed in the message log.
abfFailure()
Changes the ABF file header to reflect that an error occurred in translation (making the file unreadable) and imbeds a message in the file which is displayed in the program's message log.
abfGetInputFile()
Returns the path of the input file given to the reader.
abfGetReaderTargetVersion()
Returns the version passed to the reader by HyperGraph. This is the version of HyperGraph that the reader should try to match itself to.
