- 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.

::hwat::solver::InferAssemsScanDynaParts

This function examines the component name and title card for a sub-string match to the given assembly name. If a match is found, this component is added to a newly created assembly with the same name given in the list.

Syntax

InferAssemsScanDynaParts list_of_assemblies

Arguments

list_of_assemblies: A Tcl list of assembly names which could not be found by the InferAssemsScanHMAssems, InferAssemsScanEntitySets search functions.

Returns

Success: A Tcl list of the form {FOUND {A_PILLAR B_PILLAR} NOTFOUND {C_PILLAR}}
Failure: {}

Example

::hwat::solver::InferAssemsScanDynaParts [list A_PILLAR B_PILLAR C_PILLAR]
