HyperMesh Batch is a non-graphical version of HyperMesh that can be used to run command files or Tcl scripts in batch mode.
The start-in directory is the location from which the HyperWorks Desktop application is launched.
HyperWorks Desktop writes several different settings files.
There are various types of startup customizations that are possible for HyperWorks Desktop. These items define how the application looks or behaves at product startup.
HyperMesh allows you to create a script file named hmcustom.tcl that can be used to automatically execute a series of commands or to define custom settings during startup.
Environment variables can be defined to configure various aspects of HyperWorks Desktop.
Extension are programs integrated with HyperWorks to enhance or extend the user experience.
A preference file is an ASCII file that configures the application or its clients. It specifies default user settings, such as the order in which colors are assigned, the default printer and default page layout.
On PC, when the application starts, it first reads the preference file in the installation directory, then the preference environment variable (HW_CONFIG_PATH). On Unix, the program first reads the preference file in your home directory, then the current working directory.
Preference files always begins with the *Id() statement followed by statements grouped in blocks.
When the program is started it checks for Templex statements in the preference file. If any Templex statements are found, they are evaluated prior to executing the preference statements.
Through the preference file *RegisterExportDLL(), you can register a DLL for use in exporting curves. The statement is found within the *BeginPlotDefaults() block in the preferences file.
