Hi,

I have a tcl code that modifies an .inp mesh. I want to incorporate an automatic import line to it, however can't seem to get it to work. What I have at the moment is:

*feinputpreserveincludefiles

*createstringarray 2 'Abaqus ' 'Standard3D '

*feinputwithdata2 '#abaqus\abaqus' 'D:/02_Scripting/HyperMesh/unit_cell_1.inp' 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0

When I run this code, the following error message appears: 'The translator does not exist'.

Would anyone be able to assist me with this?

Thanks a lot!

    Ok, turns out that it was a silly mistake.

    The third line of the code should be:

    *feinputwithdata2 '#abaqus/abaqus' 'D:/02_Scripting/HyperMesh/unit_cell_1.inp' 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0

    (a forward slash is used before abaqus)

    I'm also trying to import .inp files and save them as a single .hm file.

     

    My .cmf file is:


     

       *evaltclscript('C:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO/HM_IMPORT_04.tcl', 0)

     

    and my .tcl file is:


     

       *begin 'version 11.0.0.47  1-7-2014  13:12:22' 

       *templatefileset 'C:/Program Files/Altair/11.0/templates/feoutput/abaqus/explicit' 

       *menufilterset '*' 

       *menufilterdisable 

       *feinputpreserveincludefiles 

       *createstringarray 2  'HyperMesh ' ' ' 

       *feinputwithdata2 '#abaqus/abaqus' 'C:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO/RESULTS_BUILDMODEL/model_04/model_04icp.inp' 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 

       *feinputpreserveincludefiles 

       *createstringarray 2  'HyperMesh ' ' ' 

       *feinputwithdata2 '#abaqus/abaqus' 'C:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO/RESULTS_BUILDMODEL_OPT/MODEL_04/model_04icp.inp' 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 

       *setdisplayattributes 2 0  

       *view 'rightside' 

       *writefile 'C:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO/MODEL_04_COMPARISON.hm' 1 

     

    This works when I open Hypermesh and go to File>Run>Command File and select the above .cmf file. The problem is that this does not work when I try to run it via DOS using:

     

       hmbatch -cC:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO//HM_IMPORT_04.cmf

     

    I get the following error:

     


       Tcl/Tk script error:  

       0  

           while executing  

       '*feinputwithdata2 '#abaqus/abaqus' 'C:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO/RESULTS_BUILDMODEL/model_04/model_04icp.inp' 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 '  

           (file 'C:/Users/Lowell/Documents/SSM_Project/PCA_LOO/HM_IMPORT_04.tcl' line 7) 

     

    I don't think this is a syntax issue because the files work when I manually open HM but I'd like to do this all through DOS.

     

    Much thanks!

    I am having the same issue as lowell. The tcl script works within the Hypermesh GUI, but fails with the same error using hmbatch. Would appreciate any help being offered!

    can anyone tell why hmbatch import is not working?
