I have a '.bat' file for automesh and boundary creation. When I execute the file with 'hm.exe' path, it works. But when I execute it with 'runhw.exe' path it does not work. Could you please help me with it?

hello,

do you get any specific error message? What is the command you try to execute?

Best Regards,

Michael

Hello,

thank you for your reply!

I do not get any error. When I execute the '.bat'-file when defined the 'runhw.exe' path, it opens the hyperworks programm with blank screens. But when I execute the same file defining 'hm.exe' path it works.

The batch file is for creating,

1) surfaces for a geometry 

2) 2d-Mesh creation with defined mesh parameters,

3) Boundary recognition for the geometry.

One more point,

this batch file takes '.iges' file and converts it to .hm for abaqus solver. 

Best Reagrds,

Mahesh

May I ask you for the exact command you used with runhw.exe?

Set CAD_INPUT=xxx.igs

Set CAD_OUTPUT=%JOBID%_CAD%CAD_PROCESS%.hm

call %File_name_EXE% %filename% %CAD_OUTPUT% %OUTPUT_MESH% %MCATE% %MESHPARA% %MAT% %File_name_PARA% NULL %ASSY_PROCESS% %NEW_MATFILE%
echo %ERRORLEVEL%

call %DIRECTORY%capture.bat 

Under capture.bat 

setlocal
Set ALM_NO_EXPIRE_WARNING=1
"File_path/runhw.exe" /clientconfig hwfepre.dat -nocommand -nouserprofiledialog -tcl "boundary_capture.tcl" -s1280x1024+10+10
endlocal

I hope this helps.

Hello,

generally, I define the tcl script by a path (either absolute or reltive):

"File_path/runhw.exe" /clientconfig hwfepre.dat -nocommand -nouserprofiledialog -tcl "boundary_capture.tcl" -s1280x1024+10+10

Plus, some arguments seem not to be related to runhwx.eexe (which is the new interface).. The command for runhwx.exe should look like below:

"D:\Program Files\Altair\2022\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -client HyperWorksDesktop -plugin HyperworksLauncher -profile HyperworksLauncher -l en -sf plugins/hwd/resources/splashHyperWorks.png
