Print in batch mode

omartin

Hello, I am running a script in batch mode on Hypermesh 2019 and I would like to print everything the program is doing instead of 'Ready' and then close. This is what I have but doesn't seem to print anything:

 

xxx\altair\v2019\hw\bin\win64\hw.exe -b -p mvw_file -tcl script.tcl

I just want the black window of Hypermesh batch mode to show what it is doing.

If you want, in your tcl file: create a tk toplevel and a textbox to puts ouput status there

Tinh, 

   Do you have example of toplevel textbox that can output status? Thank you

Hi,

sample like this:

package require Tk

set w [toplevel .output]

wm title $w 'Output status:'

set t [text $w.t]

pack $t -fill both -expand yes

#output everything you need:

$t insert end 'script is running at stage #???'

 

 

Another way, easier, you output status to a text file, as almost FE solvers do (nastran outputs to f06, optistruct outputs to .out , dyna outputs to d3hsp...):

set fpt [open output.txt a]

puts $fpt 'script is running at stage #???'

close $fpt
