I would like to use the Post Proces of HyperWorksCFD to calculate Q-values and visualize vortex structures, but I don't know how to do it. Please let me know how to do it.

    Starting with HyperMesh CFD 2024.1, you can select 'Compute Q-Criterion' from the General Reader Options > Variables menu. With earlier versions it was included in the Calculate tool, by clicking the 'lightning' icon. (I don't recall when that started being included in Calculate - so it does depend on which version of HyperMesh CFD you are using.)
