Altair HyperView 2026 Release Notes

The Hotspot() class covers most of the Hotspot tool functionality. All the criteria can be set, simulations can be chosen using dictionaries and/or wildcards.

Full coverage of ignore element types and sets is supported and the hotspot notes can be customized. Using ‘local’ or ‘part’ view modes allows looping over hotspots and capturing images in combination with CaptureImageTool().

Permanent notes, measures and sets can be added to the session, and the results can be exported in CSV format for further automation.

The Tracing() class supports all the features for tracing nodes, parts, MBD systems and lines.

Lines can be added via node lists or files, and the line/part colors can be set via color lists. The simulation steps can be also set in list format.

Trace curves can also be created in separate windows with the same color and axis settings as the interactive mode.
