- Extensions
  Extensions are programs integrated with HyperWorks to enhance or extend the user experience.
- External Readers and Altair Binary Format
  Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.
- Generic ASCII Reader
  A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The Altair ASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.
- Batch Mode
  Batch mode allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.
- External Resources
  External resources can be registered in preference files, session files, or Templex files. If an external resource is registered in a program session, it is automatically registered in the session file when the session is saved.
- Tcl/Tk Commands
  The HyperWorks Desktop scripting interface is a set of Tcl/Tk commands that follow a simple and consistent syntax.
- Translators
  Translators are utilities that are run from the command line of the operating system to convert various types of files into different formats.
- Result Math
  XML commands in the Result Math Module.
- HyperWorks Record and Playback
  Record playback workflows in HyperView.
- HyperWorks Report
- HyperMesh
- MotionView
- Templex and Math Reference Guide
  - Templex Reference
    Templex is a general purpose text and numeric processor which generates output text based on guidelines defined in a template.
    - About Templates
      A template is an ASCII text file containing plain text, Templex statements, mathematical expressions, constants, and variables that Templex processes.
    - Write Templates
      The syntax for Templex statements is similar to that of the C programming language.
    - Variables, Expressions and Formatting
      Learn about variables, expressions, and formatting using Templex.
      - Variables
        A variable is defined by specifying a name for the variable and assigning a value to it. After a variable is defined, it can be referenced anywhere in a template.
      - Vectors and Matrices (Arrays)
        In addition to scalars, Templex supports one- and two-dimensional arrays.
      - String and Mathematical Functions and Operators
        A variety of mathematical functions and operators can be used in Templex.
      - Expression Operators
        Templex follows the standard mathematical order of operations when an expression is evaluated.
      - Conditional Statements
        Within a template, conditional decisions can be made based on the evaluation of a control expression.
      - Iterative Statements
        Templex supports three types of iterative statements.
      - Formatting Guidelines
        Formatting general output, numeric output, character and string output, and matrices.
    - Run Templex
      As well as using Templex from within MotionView and HyperGraph, Templex can also be run in batch mode from the command line of Unix operating systems.
    - Templex Statements
      List of Templex statements.
  - Math Reference
    Mathematical functions and operators, including syntax, operators and specific information about each function.
- Script and Model Library
  The Script and Model Library is a database of freely accessible scripts and models posted by users and Altair engineers.
