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.
Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.
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 allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.
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.
The HyperWorks Desktop scripting interface is a set of Tcl/Tk commands that follow a simple and consistent syntax.
APIs can be used to perform various actions in HyperWorks. For example, the AddPage API can be used to add a page within the project.

Tcl/Tk classes for the following HyperWorks Desktop applications.
Adds a new assembly.
Adds a new explosion to the current model.
Creates a part from the given part reference parented by the given assembly locator string.
Creates a new selection set on the current model.
Creates a tracking system and assigns a name.
Adds a new coordinate system to the current model.
Sets component material to default values. Calling this command on an assembly has no affect.

Gets an assembly handle for the given assembly locator string.
Gets the parent assembly's ID.
Returns the bounding box coordinates of the model.
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.

Gets the current color mode for the model.
Gets the list of available color modes.
Gets a handle to the given component by ID.
Gets the component ID.
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.

Returns the property information for a given entity.
Gets the list of entity IDs in a given pool.
Gets a list of explosion IDs.
Gets the model file name.
Gets the global property list.
Gets the model ID.
Gets the label ID.
Populates the given set with the currently masked elements.
Gets the component material ID (zero if none assigned). If this is an assembly, -1 is always returned.
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".
Gets the number of child components.
Gets the number of components in this model.
Gets the number of elements in this model.
Gets the number of nodes in this model.

Gets a handle for the user-defined system as specified by the ID string.
Gets a list containing all of the user-defined systems present in the current model.
Gets a list containing all of the possible types of user-defined systems which can be created.
Gets the model's visibility state.
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.
Returns the number of entities in the selection set which are visible in the current view orientation.
Masks the contents of a selection set.

Sets the model's approximation error.
Sets the parent to the assembly identified by assy_id. This will always fail. You cannot change the model's parent.
Enables or disables the selection set identified by the set_id.
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 current color mode for the model.
Sets the component display option setting. If this component is an assembly, all the child parts will be set to this state.
Sets the model label.
Sets the component material index. Calling this command on an assembly has no affect.

Sets the component's polygon mode. If this is an assembly, ALL child parts are set to the specified polygon mode.
Attaches the given result file to the model.
Sets the model sync value.
Sets the component's tracing mode. This command has no affect on an assembly.
Sets the tracking system drawing mode.
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.
Sets the model's visibility state (doesn't affect part/element visibility).
Unmasks the contents of a selection set.
