2024.1
Overview of external readers and the Altair Binary Format, the generic ASCII reader, running applications in batch mode, using Tcl/Tk commands, translators, and result math.
FE input readers are C programs that read information from ASCII or binary finite element models files into the HyperMesh database.

Extensions are programs integrated with the application to enhance or extend the user experience.
Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.
A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The Altair ASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.
Batch mode allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.
External resources can be registered in preference files, session files, or Templex files. If an external resource is registered in a program session, it is automatically registered in the session file when the session is saved.
The Python API documentation for HyperMesh applications.
The application's scripting interface is a set of Tcl/Tk commands that follow a simple and consistent syntax.
Translators are utilities that are run from the command line of the operating system to convert various types of files into different formats.
XML commands in the Result Math Module.
Record playback workflows in the application.
Use the Task Manager to load an XML file that defines tasks and their attributes.
These provide an overview of all additions, updates, and changes to the HyperMesh APIs for each release.
Details on the core data that can be queried and manipulated.
This API allows external applications to link HyperMesh as a library and provides a limited set of functions and structures to access specific functionality.
hmlib is a library which contains a set of routines to aid you in writing a C program.
hminlib is a set of routines which allows you to write an external input translator.
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.
Closes the hmreslib file and frees memory used by hmreslib for temporary files. (You must close other open files.)
Sets the form of the complex number that hmreslib is expecting.
Inquires about which format is currently being used to interpret complex numbers.
Identifies the author of the binary file being translated.
Identifies the format of a machine.
Initializes hmreslib.
Sets the local displacements flag in the database.
Sets the maximum number of simulations.
Opens an input file containing results.
Creates a program header.
Checks to see if the res file has reached the size limit.
Sets the file size limit that a res file is allowed to reach.
Sets the initial name of the res file name.
Allows a user-specified message to be sent before the program is terminated.
Updates the res filename by adding an integer to the filename. This is used to make multiple res files.
Writes a HyperMesh binary database containing the results previously stored in a file in hmreslib.
Writes a simulation to a file.
Details on the HMASCII format and associated commands.
This section contains details on general HyperWorks scripting concepts, along with documentation on the Tcl commands that can be used to query and modify the database and GUI.
Solver templates are ASCII data files containing HyperMesh Template Language Commands and HyperMesh Template Language Functions.
The Script and Model Library is a database of freely accessible scripts and models posted by users and Altair engineers.
