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.
A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The AltairASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.
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.

You can use HWC commands in the Tcl Console. The
hwc wrapper is on the same root level as the
hwi parent handle. The wrapper allows you to execute the HWC
commands inside of Tcl by using hwc
as a prefix for this command:
hwc <HWC Command>
Example
The HWC command to hide all components which contain the string “door”
in their
label:
hide component *door*
can be executed in Tcl as
follows:
hwc hide component *door*
Multiple commands can also be executed in one
line:
hwc hide all | show component *door*
The advantage is that no handle needs to be created; the wrapper class
always exists. The command can also be used as-is, no change
required.
Important: Recorded commands which contain
name=value pairs are recorded with a blank space between the equal
sign, “=” and the value when these variables are of a type which can
contain backslashes. If multiple entities are selected typing a
comma “,” HWC inserts spaces between these entities and the “’,”
This blank space is required for the Tcl parser to work.
Important: Please do not remove
the blank spaces that HWC automatically inserts.
Example
The blank space between text= and "Value is required for the command to
work:
All HWC commands from the command history can be copied in the Tcl syntax to the clipboard using the Copy to
Tcl option in the context menu of the HWC console:
=
HWC Class Tcl API
In addition to the wrapper, the HWC class Tcl API runs
HWC commands and executes HWC command
files:
The <hwc_command> can consists of one or multiple commands
separated by the pipe symbol, "|". If you copy multiple commands in the command
line, the pipe symbol, "|", is automatically inserted.
