Hello everyone,

When I use AcuSolve Job Launcher 2020, my job can run normally,

but now I have two jobs to run continuous, I use a batch file to execute,

here is my batch file content: 

--------------------------

CD D:\Analysis\run_xxx1
call "C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64\bin\acuRun.bat" -pb xxx1 -inp xxx1.inp -np 4
CD D:\Analysis\run_xxx2
call "C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64\bin\acuRun.bat" -pb xxx2 -inp xxx2.inp -np 4

--------------------------

when I execute this batch, the system will comes out a warning message "not found mpich2mpi.dll"

Dose anyone know how to fix it? please.

Thank you

    My first thought is that you issuing this from a command prompt that does not have the AcuSolve environment established.  You have two choices:

    1.  Issue this from the AcuSolve Command Prompt - which should appear under Altair 2020 from the Windows Start menu.

    or

    2.  From any Command Prompt first run the script to establish the AcuSolve environment.

    "C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64"\bin\acusim.bat

    or the equivalent as you type out that path - maybe the quotes will be slightly different.

    In either case, before you launch your run script, make sure your command prompt 'knows' acuRun, by trying:

    acuRun  -h

    This will tell you whether or not the environment is established correctly.  Once that is confirmed, you can modify your script to:

    cd D:\Analysis\run_xxx1
    call acuRun -pb xxx1 -inp xxx1.inp -np 4
    cd D:\Analysis\run_xxx2
    call acuRun -pb xxx2 -inp xxx2.inp -np 4

    As a side note, Altair Simulation 2021 has now been released, so you could update to the latest version.  The same process will still apply.

    Thanks a lot, @acupro 

    I used the 2nd method, and it works.

     

    But as a side note, I tried to increase 1st row to execute acusim.bat in my batch file, like following

    -----------------

    call "C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64\bin\acusim.bat"

    CD D:\Analysis\run_xxx1
    call "C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64\bin\acuRun.bat" -pb xxx1 -inp xxx1.inp -np 4
    CD D:\Analysis\run_xxx2
    call "C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64\bin\acuRun.bat" -pb xxx2 -inp xxx2.inp -np 4

    -----------------

    then I executed the batch file,

    the Command Prompt seems stop while it after executing first row, like the image below.

    I'm not too familiar with Windows scripts - but does it proceed better if you remove the 'call' before executing acusim.bat?

    Did it proceed better if you remove the 'call' before executing acusim.bat?

    I tried, it's the same.

    It seems the last line of the acusim.bat script opens a command-prompt, and for some reason commands do not proceed after that.

    Let's assume you're going to execute the .bat file from another command-prompt, and not by double-clicking the .bat file itself.  You can copy the relevant items from acusim.bat into your own .bat file - but at the start of that, you'll probably need to hard-set the initial directories.

    If you're using version 2020 in the default location, try putting the following ahead of your first cd operation.  (The formatting may be strange here - so you may want to copy directly from acusim.bat, then make the appropriate changes to match the lines below.)  Note I've added @ECHO OFF and then later ECHO so those commands don't get 'echoed' into the command prompt.  The main things you'll need to hardcode are ACUSIM_HOME and ACUSIM_MACHINE.
