Altair HyperWorks Tools
Administrative tools to customize your Altair HyperWorks installation.
- Altair License Utility
  Use the Altair License Utility to determine a managed Altair Licensing ID, check license usage, borrow licenses, and set up managed Altair Units.
- Altair Compute Console
  Altair Compute Console (ACC) is a utility that allows you to start different Altair HyperWorks Solvers.
- Remote Job Submission
  Remote Job Submission in Altair Compute Console (ACC) is implemented as an alternative to a local run.
- Remote Server User Guide
- AbaqusODB Upgrade
  AbaqusODB UpGrade is a HyperView tool, which upgrades ODB files created in Abaqus 2018 (or earlier) to Abaqus 2023.
- 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.
- HvTrans
  HvTrans is a result translator for HyperView that translates solver result files to .h3d files.
- HWTK GUI Toolkit
  The HWTK GUI Toolkit is a resource tool for coding Tcl/Tk dialogs. It contains documentation of the HWTK GUI Toolkit commands, demo pages that illustrate our Altair GUI standards, and sample code for creating those examples.
- Cleanup Utility
  The Cleanup Utility is a script for Windows that removes any custom settings that you may have due to the Altair applications installed.
- Model Identification Tool
  The Model Identification Tool (MIT) is a profile in HyperGraph for fitting test data from frequency- and amplitude-dependent bushings to analytical models. The MIT 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.
- 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.

      - ::hwat::math::AngleBetweenVectors
        Finds the angle in degrees between two vectors.
      - ::hwat::math::AverageVectorComponents
        This function will average the vector components.
      - ::hwat::math::CheckReflection
        Check a given cosine matrix for reflection properties.
      - ::hwat::math::CheckTransformMatrix
        Checks the validity of the given transormation matrix.
      - ::hwat::math::ConvertMatrixToRotations
        Convert a cosine matrix into three successive rotations.
      - ::hwat::math::DegreesToRadians
        Converts an angle from degrees to radians.
      - ::hwat::math::GetVector
        Finds the i, j, and k components of a vector given the coordinates of the start and end point.
      - ::hwat::math::IfEqual
        Check the equality of two float numbers.
      - ::hwat::math::IsIdentityMatrix
        Check if the matrix is identity.
      - ::hwat::math::PointOnVector
        Finds a point on a vector at a given distance from the tail (starting point) of the vector. If the distance is given in percentage, it finds a point at percentage of the total vector length.
      - ::hwat::math::RadiansToDegrees
        Converts an angle from radians to degrees.
      - ::hwat::math::VectorAverage
        Finds the average of two vectors.
      - ::hwat::math::VectorCrossProduct
        Finds the cross product of two vectors.
      - ::hwat::math::VectorDotProduct
        Finds the dot product of two vectors.
      - ::hwat::math::VectorMagnitude
        Given a list of values returns the square root of the sum of the squares.
      - ::hwat::math::VectorNormalize
        Given a list of values returns the list after normalization.
    - Solver Functions
    - Utils
    - XML Functions
      These functions use a SAX-based parser.
    - Core Functions
      These are primarily private functions, and are not called directly in most cases. They are usually called privately by other functions as helpers.
- H3D Validation Tools
  The H3D Validation Tools available are H3D Info and H3D Validate.
- Uninstall
  Use the Altair HyperWorks Products Uninstaller to remove all files from the installation directory.
