Introduction

HWC Language

The first release of the HWC (HyperWorks Command) language allows you to record playback workflows in HyperView. Tasks performed in the browser, panels, or graphics area are recorded in a simple and intuitive syntax in the command history window below the panel.

The HWC Console, with the command line, supports auto-completion and interactive help and allows easy modification and re-execution of commands. Default arguments for frequently used commands can be set, and basic framework commands are recorded. You can use preference files to create menu buttons to execute HWC files. An interface is provided to execute HWC commands from Tcl scripts or you can execute HWC command files directly in batch mode.

Command Coverage

Note: This release supports the commands required for model setup and result display in HyperView. This covers attributes, sets, sections, scalar-, vector- and tensor-results, views, animation, tracking systems, annotations (notes), basic framework commands, and image/video/.h3d export.

Complete HyperView coverage and the support of other post-processing clients (HyperGraph 2D/HyperGraph 3D, TableView, MediaView, and so on) will be supported in future releases.
