HyperWorks Desktop Reference Guides
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.
- HyperWorks Desktop
  - External Readers and Altair Binary Format
    Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.
  - Generic ASCII Reader
    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
    Batch mode allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.
  - External Resources
    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.
  - Tcl/Tk Commands
    The HyperWorks Desktop scripting interface is a set of Tcl/Tk commands that follow a simple and consistent syntax.
  - Translators
    Translators are utilities that are run from the command line of the operating system to convert various types of files into different formats.
  - Result Math
    XML commands in the Result Math Module.
  - HyperWorks Record and Playback
    Record playback workflows in HyperView.
    - Introduction
