Start Solver Run with graphical Interface

hi

it's msdos command:

exec cmd /K START ...optistruct.bat ....fem &

Hi tinh,

thanks for you reply. But it did not solve my problem. First it told me: RADFLEX LICENSE PATH missing in the environment variables. After I set that up it told me that I have no license!? But it works the other way.

Hm...maybe another way?

Thanks in advance,

Merula

bump ?

Hi,

Perhaps license setting is in hwsolver.tcl

so running optistruc.bat directly raises that problem

But you already run optistruct.bat without console, so it may be due to your license, not tcl problem.

check it again

This issue was resolved by reinstalling the machine /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

BUT, still not quite there yet. The interface I see is attached as an image. Is there no way to get the same graphical interface when starting an analysis out of hyperworks (second image)

Best regards,

Maybe, ask ... Altair ?

Hi,

The solution is very clear on the second image

run it by this command:

exec [hm_info -appinfo SPECIFIEDPATH wish]  [file join [hm_info -appinfo ALTAIR_HOME] hwsolvers scripts hwsolver.tcl] -solver OS -screen {your_input_file_path.fem}

Seriously, how do you always know this commands.... I would have never found it!

Thanks,

Hi,

I just enter Start>All Program>Altair>13.0, right click on 'Optistruct' shortcut > Properties

looking at 'Target' field => it is console command to invoke Optistruct GUI

to invoke console command from tcl, use exec command

and on your 2nd photo, to run a fem file with optistruct, add the file path at the end of console command

Hi tinh,

still having troubles to understand how you came to that command.

From optistruct properties, I can see, that hwsolver.tcl is triggered as well as the option -solver OS when starting it, but the rest is dark for me:

exec [hm_info -appinfo SPECIFIEDPATH wish]  [file join [hm_info -appinfo ALTAIR_HOME] hwsolvers scripts hwsolver.tcl] -solver OS -screen {your_input_file_path.fem}

exec: execute command

[hm_info -appinfo SPECIFIEDPATH wish] : ??

 [file join [hm_info -appinfo ALTAIR_HOME] hwsolvers scripts hwsolver.tcl] : this points to the file hwsolver.tcl which is what we want to start.

-solver OS -screen: makes sens from the properties

{your_input_file_path.fem} : ??? I never would have guessed that

Thanks for your help,

Merula

Hi,

[hm_info -appinfo SPECIFIEDPATH wish]  ==> return path of wish.exe program, so exec will start this program

[file join [hm_info -appinfo ALTAIR_HOME] hwsolvers scripts hwsolver.tcl]   ==> return path of hwsolver.tcl, so wish.exe will source this tcl file

-solver OS -screen {your_input_file_path.fem} ==> args of hwsolver.tcl script, so procs inside this script will know which fem file to pass to optistruct.bat for analysis

example: {your_input_file_path.fem}  :

{C:/Users/tinh/documents/linear_static.fem}
