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.
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.
Gets the component display option setting. If this component is an assembly, true will indicate that one or more child
parts have the display mode set.
Gets the component's polygon mode. If this is an assembly, ALL child parts must have the same polygon mode set, otherwise
the returned mode will be "none".
Gets the coordinates of the currently visible nodes for the part (part_locator). If for example there is an active 0 width cross section, only the nodes on the cut will be returned (the same will
be true for ISO sections). Node positions will be listed only once.
Sets the component's color index. This command will be invalid if it is called on a component that is an assembly, doing
so will have no affect, and a warning will be returned.
Sets the translation vector in the global coordinate system. If this component is an assembly, a zero translation will
always be returned. Translating/exploding the root level (model) assembly is an invalid operation. The translation will
be put into a TRANSLATION mode explosion.

poIModel GetChildrenList
Gets the number of child components. For an assembly, only the child parts and assemblies are returned, the IDs of child systems are not returned.
poIModel GetColor
Gets the component color index. If this component is an assembly, the returned color will always be the first one listed in the color table.
poIModel GetDisplayMode
Gets the component display option setting. If this component is an assembly, true will indicate that one or more child parts have the display mode set.
poIModel GetMaterial
Gets the component material ID (zero if none assigned). If this is an assembly, -1 is always returned.
poIModel GetMeshMode
Gets the component's mesh mode. If this is an assembly, ALL child parts must be set to the same mesh mode, otherwise the returned mode will be "none".
poIModel GetPolygonMode
Gets the component's polygon mode. If this is an assembly, ALL child parts must have the same polygon mode set, otherwise the returned mode will be "none".
poIModel GetPoolList
Gets the list of pools for the particular type in this model.
poIModel GetTranslation
Gets the translation vector in the global coordinate system. If this component is an assembly, a zero translation will always be returned.
poIModel GetVisibleNodesCoordinatesList
Gets the coordinates of the currently visible nodes for the part (part_locator). If for example there is an active 0 width cross section, only the nodes on the cut will be returned (the same will be true for ISO sections). Node positions will be listed only once.
poIModel GetZViewableCount
Returns the number of entities in the selection set which are visible in the current view orientation.
poIModel Mask
Masks the contents of a selection set.
poIModel SetAssemblyID
Sets the parent to the assembly identified by assy_id. This will always fail. You cannot change the model's parent.
poIModel SetAttribute
Enables or disables the selection set identified by the set_id.
poIModel SetColor
Sets the component's color index. This command will be invalid if it is called on a component that is an assembly, doing so will have no affect, and a warning will be returned.
poIModel SetTranslation
Sets the translation vector in the global coordinate system. If this component is an assembly, a zero translation will always be returned. Translating/exploding the root level (model) assembly is an invalid operation. The translation will be put into a TRANSLATION mode explosion.
poIModel SetVisibility
Sets the model's visibility state (doesn't affect part/element visibility).
