TCL Hyperview and Hypermesh

Thomas_D

I’m writing a TCL script that will be executed in the following scenario: in HyperView, once a model and its results are loaded.

It should behave as follows:

Retrieve the path of the loaded model, open a second window in the same instance, switch to HyperMesh, and import the model.

The script doesn’t return any error message; however, when I test it, it imports the model into HyperMesh, but then it disappears right after. If I run the script a second time, the model is imported and stays. I’m having trouble understanding why the script behaves this way.

Do you have any idea where my mistake might be?

My script :

catch {result_ctrl ReleaseHandle}

catch {model_handle ReleaseHandle}

catch {client ReleaseHandle}

catch {win ReleaseHandle}

catch {page ReleaseHandle}

catch {proj ReleaseHandle}

catch {sess ReleaseHandle}

catch {sess ReleaseHandle}

hwi OpenStack

hwi GetSessionHandle sess

sess GetProjectHandle proj

proj GetPageHandle page 1

page GetWindowHandle win 1

win GetClientHandle client

set modelID [client GetActiveModel]
client GetModelHandle model $modelID
set modelFilePath [model GetFileName]

puts "Chemin du modele charge : $modelFilePath"

hwc hwd page current layout=1

hwc hwd page current activewindow=2

hwc hwd window index=2 type=HyperMesh

*createstringarray 3 "Optistruct " " " "IMPORT_BY1COMP"
*feinputwithdata2 "\#optistruct\\optistruct" "$modelFilePath" 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 1 0

puts "DONE"

model ReleaseHandle

client ReleaseHandle

win ReleaseHandle

page ReleaseHandle

proj ReleaseHandle

sess ReleaseHandle

hwi CloseStack

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

hello @Thomas_D ,

few thoughts here:

I would rely on postquery package to reduce the number of objects to be defined HyperView side:

• You may need to insert a pause in your script before
  

*feinputwithdata2 "\#optistruct\\optistruct" "$modelFilePath" 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 1 0

• in order to make sure HyperMesh environment is fully loaded before importing the fem file

• for the sake of double checking, do you confirm that your Model File in HyperView is the fem file?
