3、s the scripting language used to customize the HyperWorks Desktop Environment.Upon launching, the Tcl/Tk interpreter is automatically initialized and a set of commands are created to form the command layer inside the framework. Every client in the HyperWorks Desktop framework has a command associate

Each of these commands is created when the respective client is loaded.“post”Animation client“hwplot” HyperGraph 2D client“plot3d”HyperGraph 3D client“texteditor”TextView client“video”MediaView client“model”MotionView clientHyperWorks Desktop Environment - Framework OverviewWhat is a macr

5、o?Tool, utility, or a set of functions that perform a particular action or a set of actions Tcl scripts that are created using Tcl must have a name with “.tcl” extension. To activate a particular Macro, the user must use the source command. For example, a Macro named my_macro.tcl, use the following

The command layer can basically be broken into two main levels common level client specific level The same commands are used to get to the client level and after that, a separate set commands exist for each client. HyperWorks Desktop Environment Command LayerAll commands are object-centric, mea

The basic command syntax is:object_name command command parameter(s)These commands fall into four categories Handle CommandsOperation CommandsProperty CommandsList CommandsHyperWorks Desktop Environment Command LayerThe HyperWorks

The hwi command provides access to the hwISession object and a few high level utilities. HyperWorks supports only one session per run and one project per session. The session obje

10、ct can be retrieved by using the following commandhwi GetSessionHandle session1NOTE: session1 is the handle name which is an arbitrary name chosen by the userHyperWorks Desktop Environment Sample SessionSample session with 2 pages:HyperWorks Desktop Environment Sample SessionExample: Get to “Page 2”

The client handle must be released and retrieved again if the
