Translators
Translators are utilities that are run from the command line of the operating system to convert various types of results files into a format that the program can read. A table of the translators supplied with the programs appears below. Since the program can read HyperMesh binary results files, the entire set of HyperMesh results translators is included.
To run a translator, type the name of the translator, desired command line options, the name of an input file, and the name of an output file. To view usage notes on a particular translator, type the name of the translator at the command prompt and press enter.
