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.
- Extensions
  Extensions are programs integrated with the application to enhance or extend the user experience.
- External Readers and Altair Binary Format
  Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.
- Generic ASCII Reader
  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
  Batch mode allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.
- External Resources
  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.

  - Program with APIs for Beginners
    APIs can be used to perform various actions in an application. For example, the AddPage API can be used to add a page within the project.

        Gets the raw expression used to specify the value of the current data member.
        mdlIDataMember GetRefObjectHandle
        Gets the handle of the object to which a reference data member is resolved to.
        mdlIDataMember GetRefType
        Gets the type of entity used to resolve this data member.
        mdlIDataMember IsConst
        Determines whether the value of the current data member may or may not be modified.
        mdlIDataMember IsObsolete
        Determines whether or not a data member is obsolete.

        Determines if this data member is for the slave side of a symmetric pair.
        mdlIDataMember SetAsObsolete
        Marks a data member as obsolete so that the next evaluation evaluates that data member.
        mdlIDataMember SetRawExpression
        Used to set expressions for a data members.
        mdlIDataMember TestExpression
        Tests the evaluation of an expression without re-evaluating the entire model.

mdlIDataMember IsResolved

Determines whether or not a reference data member is resolved.

Syntax

mdlIDataMember_handle IsResolved resolve_refs

Application

MotionView Tcl Query

Description

This command determines if a data member has been resolved. The resolve_refs argument is used if the command is called upon a reference data member.

Inputs

resolve_refs

A boolean variable which is true by default.

True: The data member that it refers to will be checked to see if it is resolved or not.
False: The reference data member will be checked to see if it is resolved or not.

Example

To check to see if a data member is resolved:

hwi GetSessionHandle mySessionName
mySessionName GetProjectHandle myProjectName
set activePageNum [myProjectName GetActivePage]
myProjectName GetPageHandle myPageName $activePageNum
set activeWinNum [myPageName GetActiveWindow]
myPageName GetWindowHandle myWindowName $activeWinNum
myWindowName GetClientHandle myClientName
myClientName GetModelHandle myModelName
myModelName GetChildHandle point_handle p_ctp
point_handle GetChildHandle x_handle x
x_handle IsResolved true
x_handle ReleaseHandle
point_handle ReleaseHandle
myModelName ReleaseHandle
myClientName ReleaseHandle
myWindowName ReleaseHandle
myPageName ReleaseHandle
myProjectName ReleaseHandle
mySessionName ReleaseHandle

Errors

Returns True if the data member is resolved, or False if the data member is not resolved. If there is an error, an error code will be returned.
