How to generate .fem file from .hm [Optistruct]

Altair Forum User

I am looking to write a windows batch file or linux script that would generate an Optistruct .fem input file given an .hm file. I looked through the hwsolver/scripts available in Windows versions but it was not obvious as to what to do for this. Could some help or direction be provided on this?

Thank you!

hi, a sample windows batch file:

'C:\Program Files\Altair\2017\hm\bin\win64\hmopengl.exe' -batchmesher -noconsole -tcl 'C:\export_to_fem.tcl'

a sample export_to_fem.tcl :

*readfile 'C:/your_hmfile.hm'

*feoutputwithdata 'C:/Program Files/Altair/2017/templates/feoutput/optistruct/optistruct' 'C:/your_femfile.fem' 1 0 2 1 1

exit

Thank you for the reply. I have another question and you must excuse my ignorance. I am a linux user and I find that you have both forward and backward slashes in your script and command. Which should I use? I am using windows 7 (have not used it much) and it has '\' and not '/' in the commandline/dos prompt.

Thank you.

In Linux world, it's so simple: use '/' everywhere /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
