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.)
