HyperMesh

HyperMesh identifies extensions using the environment variable HWX_PLUGINS, which specifies a list of all folder locations that contain HyperMesh extensions, as a semi-colon separated list.

The HyperMesh configuration is updated automatically when MI Materials Gateway is installed using the Setup Manager, but in a centralized deployment you need to carry out this step.

To configure HyperMesh:
Ensure that the HWX_PLUGINS environment variable exists on each HyperMesh client, and specify the full filepath of the HyperMesh integration within the MI Materials Gateway installation folder.
  • To define it at user level, add the filepath to the HWX_PLUGINS environment variable, for each user on the client machine.
  • To define it at system level, add the filepath to the HWX_PLUGINS environment variable at system level.

For example: in a default installation, the value of the HWX_PLUGINS environment variable must include the following filepath:

C:\ProgramData\Granta Design\MI Materials Gateway\Hypermesh Integration
