Using HgTrans, you can convert all or a subset of data from a native file format to Altair Binary Format (ABF) via the batch mode process.

To start a batch mode process, run hgtrans.exe in a DOS command prompt on a PC or use hgtrans from a UNIX shell.  If you do not specify complete arguments in the command line, the defaults will be used.

hgtrans.exe is located in the following directories:

PC

<Altair Home>\hw\bin\WIN64

Unix

/Altair/scripts

 

Option
< Parameter>

Description

-a

Translates all results to an ABF file without a configuration file.

-c<config file>

The name of the configuration file.

-c<config file> and -c [space] <config file> are equal.

-help or -h

Help

-o<output file>

The name of the ABF output file.

<result file>

The name of the result file.

-z[percent]<None|Standard|High>

Amount of lossless zlib compression.  This does not effect load time in HyperGraph but does slow down the HgTrans translation.

-tho

Translates ODB results into an ABF file with only Time History Output -tho.

No options launch the HgTrans GUI.
