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.
This API allows external applications to link HyperMesh as a library and provides a limited set of functions and structures to access specific functionality.
hmmodlib is a library of C routines which allows you to perform results translation of more complex data types, such as integration
point results or node-on-element results.
For an element configuration, this function returns the number of nodes that the element uses. For rigidlinks and RBE3s,
this function returns 0 because these elements have a variable number of nodes.
This section contains details on general HyperWorks Desktop scripting concepts, along with documentation on the Tcl commands that can be used to query and modify the database and GUI.
