How to encrypt TCL Script?

As far as I know there are no longer recommended ways to encrypt tcl files. There were, and are, some ways out there but there were security issues and are therefore not recommended.  Compose, C++ and Python can all be encrypted/compiled.  So if encryption is critical you might try a different language.  A web search for py_compile and compileall will give you more information on Python compiling. 

TDK (Tcl Dev Kit) ?

Thank you for the information @Ben Buchanan and @Quy Nguyen Dai .

I have developed one shell weld connection script and want to deploy it for user's use.

So, any information on deployment will be a great help.

I prefer to use extensions to deploy scripts.  Check out my blog below for more information on extensions.

@Ben Buchanan As you have mentioned about python.

Is it possible to do scripting python for Hypermesh macro.

IS API of python available?

Please guide as I am new to this.

Unfortunately no. Python API is coming to HM but not released yet.  So as with Compose and C++ you would have to incorporate the tcl HM api commands somehow into your code. Python api is available in other Altair products like inspire (see below)

1) What about binary *.tbc files? Hypermesh can run tbc files. Do we still have converter? It was part of TclPro, but now.... 

2) It is possible to use encryption using \hwsolvers\optistruct\bin\win64\os_encrypt_win.exe Read about it in this chapter of help: /help/hwsolvers/os/topics/solvers/os/run_os_encryption_r.htm It could be useful.

For example, you can hide some materials properties: MAT1 card

MAT1    120     1.E6          0.0     3.57      1.0e-4          35.E3   35.E3   23.E3

and hypermesh will understand it.

Hello all,

I have used TCLPro setup to convert .tcl file to .tbc.

And it's working good in HM 2022.3
