How do I use the hyperview TCL command to get the post handle after manually import the model

hello @ThomasCook ,

did you already explore hwc for setting up tcl scripts? This should help you to speed up your script creation, without need of handle (or at least defining less of them).

Below is a ink to a script I published recently where I load result files, plot contour ad export screenshots:

Hope that helps,

Michael

Thank you for your reply, but I am not familiar with HWC. Anyway, thank you for your case.

hello @ThomasCook ,

for a long time, our users asked us to have some recording capabilites in HyperView/HyperGraph as we proposed in HyperMesh with command.tcl file.

hwc is our recording implementation in HyperView/HyperGraph, and it can be copy/pasted either to tcl, or to Python (from version 2024.1). This is sincelerly something you should investigate if you are not familiar with it yet, as it significantly reduces scripting effort.

You will find assets to get familiar with hwc:

• through our HyperWorks automation e-learning: Altair HyperWorks Customization and Automation
• through our Altair How-To playlist dedicated to automation with HyperView/HyperGraph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTc9zuWPIa0&list=PLGNemB0NFb0CCYd-36o6E_50bkTwhBl5L&index=4

Best Regards,

Yes, you are right, hypermesh's tcl recording function is very good, I will learn HWC, thank you very much for your help.
