Hi there, 

 

I am trying to load a tcl script from the command prompt using batch mode that does a bit of post processing. When i run it, the command prompt doesn't produce any errors however once it is complete HyperWorks has not loaded and I can not see my results. Is there something additional that i need to add to the command prompt line or to my script? 

 

Command Prompt line: C:/altair/hw/bin/win64/hw.exe -b -tcl '<tcl_directory' '<tpl_directory_called_in_tcl_script>'

    Hi Rob,

     

    the purpose of Batch is that it runs without opening the GUI of Hyperworks allowing it to run faster. If you want to 'see' your results, you have to run it without the -b. If you write your results to a text file thats something different, but I guess you want to see it graphically ?!

     

    Best regards,
