HW_MSG_HELP

Altair Forum User

Hi all,

We have a web server in our LAN, say http://docs/hw13.

A installation of HW13, within file hwhelp.cfg, I tried :

 

HW_MSG_HELP 'http://docs/hw13/'

HW_MSG_BROWSER '/usr/bin/firefox'

 

But when I asked for help (key 'h') Hyperworks send me to http://www.altairhyperworks.com/hwhelp/Altair/hw13.0/help/.....

 

When I defined HW_MSG_HELP to a local filesystem, for example /opt/docs/hw13...., it's ok.

 

How to define Hyperworks help with a local web server please ? I think when HW send me to altair site for help, it's possible to send me to my local LAN server, right ?

 

Thanks,

The config file should have the following path for HW_MSG_HELP

 

HW_MSG_HELP '<install_Dir>/altair/help

Hi Rahul,

Yes I see. My question is how to remplace '<install_dir>/altair/help' by a local web server on which we have already the complet docs of Hyperworks.

1. Local file system path like /toto/altair/help (Linux) ou C:/toto/altair/help (Windows) => OK
   
2. Web local path like http://myserver/altair/help => Does not work!
   

Any idea?

Path like option 2 is not prescribed in the documentation,

 

So in this local server where help is installed, Can you share the help folder location, connect from your machine with the full path, This works for me between two windows machines.

Yes, I think that too. I'll share docs tree via Samba/NFS. That should work.

 

But could you make a request to development team for that 'feature' please !

 

I think the implement in Hyperworks will be very simple :

For now, when I defined nothing, Hypermesh send me to Altair Docs website ('http://...' juste replace web path of Altair site par web path of local site. That's all to do.

 

Thanks,
