An Altium Designer PCB can be exported to the HyperLynx ASCII file format (*.HYP).

To access HyperLynx export capabilities in Altium Designer, the HyperLynx feature must be enabled for your installation of Altium Designer. This feature is enabled in Altium Designer by default. It can be enabled/disabled after installation.

For more information about changing installed core functionality, refer to the Installing & Managing page (Altium Designer Develop, Altium Designer Agile, Altium Designer).

To export a PCB document to a HyperLynx file, click [Add New Export Output] in an Outputjob file and select an entry in the HyperLynx (AutoPCB) menu. The export outputs can then be generated directly from the file or as part of the Project Release process.

Alternatively, select the File » Export » HyperLynx command from the main menus of Altium Designer's PCB editor.
