HyperWorks Tools
Administrative tools to customize your HyperWorks installation.
- Altair License Utility
  The Altair License Utility is a tool allowing you to determine a host ID, check license usage, borrow licenses, and set up hosted HyperWorks Units.
- AbaqusODB Upgrade
  AbaqusODB UpGrade is a HyperView tool, which upgrades ODB files created in Abaqus 2016 (or earlier) to Abaqus 2021.
- HvTrans
  HvTrans is a result translator for HyperView that translates solver result files to H3D files.
- HyperWorks GUI Toolkit
  The Altair GUI Toolkit is a resource tool for coding Tcl/Tk dialogs. It contains documentation of the HyperWorks commands, demo pages that illustrate our Altair GUI standards, and sample code for creating those examples.
- Model Identification Tool
  The Model Identification Tool, known as HyperWorks, is a profile in HyperGraph for fitting test data from frequency- and amplitude-dependent bushings to analytical models. The HyperWorks operates in conjunction with HyperGraph, MotionView and MotionSolve to provide you with a comprehensive solution for modeling and analysis.
- Register HVPcontrol
  Register HVPcontrol registers the HVP ActiveX control for HyperView Player.
- HgTrans
  HgTrans translates solver results files from their native file format to Altair Binary Format (ABF). This can be done using the HgTrans GUI or via the HgTrans batch mode.
- HyperWorks Automation Toolkit
  The HyperWorks Automation Toolkit (HWAT) is a collection of functions and widgets that allows an application to quickly assemble HyperWorks automations with minimal effort and maximum portability.
- H3D Validation Tools
  The H3D Validation Tools available in HyperWorks are H3D Info and H3D Validate.
- HyperWorks Verification and Validation Harness
  HyperWorks Verification and Validation Harness (HVVH) is a tool that can be used to verify and validate HyperWorks products. End users can use this tool to quickly evaluate the software quality, performance, reliability, scalability, and robustness, and to gain more confidence in HyperWorks products.
  - User's Guide
    - Module Menus
    - Batch Mode
      HVVH can be run in batch mode with a simple command line syntax using command line argument(s).
    - Design Tab
      Use the Design tab for a solver check run. Inspire (OptiStruct) is supported.
    - Pre-processing for CAD Modeling and Meshing
      Use the CAD and FE Model tabs to verify and validate CAD modeling and meshing.

        Compare CAD Input and Output
        The native CAD model is imported into HyperMesh and exported using CAD readers in HyperMesh that are run in the background. The exported model is re-imported and overlaid. With superposed models using advanced CAD-CAD comparison, any loss of geometric data is identified, along with any entity changes. A reference report is also created.
        
        Compare CAD Versions
        The native CAD model is imported using CAD readers in HyperMesh that are run in the background, and exported in different HyperMesh versions over two sessions. Exported models are superposed and compared using advanced CAD-CAD comparison, and any loss of geometric data is identified along with any entity changes. A reference report is also created.
        
        Compare CAD and Mesh
        The native CAD model is imported into HyperMesh along with a user-defined parameter and criteria files. The CAD model is batch meshed and the finite element (FE) mesh created is compared with the CAD model using advanced CAD-FE comparison. A reference report is also created, indicating any change in the meshed profile with respect to geometry.
        
        Compare FE Meshes
        The native CAD model is imported into HyperMesh along with a user-defined parameter and criteria files in two different HyperMesh versions. CAD models are batch meshed and FE meshes are superposed. Using advanced FE-FE comparison, any change in mesh quality are identified and reported.
        
        Compare CAD Import Versions
        For all CAD files supported in HyperMesh, data read into HyperMesh can be compared across HyperMesh versions.
      - FE Model Tab
    - Solution Tab
      Use the Solution tab for a solver check run and to submit a job (LS-DYNA, Radioss Block, and OptiStruct are supported).
    - Post-processing
      The solver output results are used for further design verification and validation. The accuracy of the results as processed, interpreted, and visualized by a post-processor is key. HyperView is used to post-process most of the solver(s) results. Use the Result tab to ensure that HyperView does not deprecate any result information after post-processing.
    - HyperForm Manufacturing Solution Tab
      Use the HyperForm tab to compare FE model data, solutions, and results across HyperForm versions.
    - HyperXtrude/HyperMold Manufacturing Solution Tab
      Use the HyperXtrude/HyperMold tab to compare FE model data, solutions, and results across HyperXtrude versions.
    - Auto Compare
    - Validate Tests
      Validation tests are used to execute user-defined verification script(s) in two different HyperWorks versions and compare the output files.
  - Reference Guide
  - Tutorials
    Discover HyperWorks functionality with interactive tutorials.
- Uninstall HyperWorks
  Uninstall HyperWorks is a tool to launch the HyperWorks uninstallation program. This program contains two options that allow you to either remove the originally installed files, or remove all the files that resides in the installation directory.
