Cache Results in HyperView with Tcl Script

ZhengC

I created a script for creating and caching contour results.

It worked well when the script was run via File>Load>Script in HyperWorks.

However, when the script was run in batch mode, the countour results were not cached.

I would like to know the reason and the solution. Thanks.

Here's the script for caching contour results.

set ui [expr rand()]
hwi OpenStack
    hwi GetActiveClientHandle my_client$ui
    my_client$ui GetModelHandle my_model$ui [my_client$ui GetActiveModel]
    my_model$ui GetResultCtrlHandle my_result$ui
    my_result$ui CacheResult scalar
hwi CloseStack

Hello 

You can check the start options to run Hyperworks in batch mode. (https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/getting_started/start_options_hyperworks_desktop_r.htm)

For Hyperview it is : 

<altair_home>/hw/bin/<platform>/hw.exe -clientconfig hwpost.dat -tcl /home/user/my_script.tcl

To debug ,try running the script without the batch mode arguments (-b) and check if the cache results are saved.  I would also recommend to create a log file which can help identify the location in your code where your script is failing 

Tcl Code example : 

 Open the log file in write mode (if it exists, it will be truncated; if not, it will be created)                                       set log_file "debug_log.txt"                                                                                                                                           set log_handle [open $log_file "w"]

# Some location in code : 

 puts $log_handle "Adding contours "

close $log_handle
