I am looking for a support from someone who have experience in running Hyperview in batch mode on HPC.

I am running a python script [Example 2] in the Link Provided:

Hi, Ajay,

Sure, please find below a windows script (.txt file to be renamed in .bat) alllowing you to execute a python script in batch mode in HyperView.

You just have to adapt the filepath in the first two lines:

set HV_EXEC="D:\ALTAIR\2025.1\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe"

set PYTHON_SCRIPT=".\script.py"

%HV_EXEC% -cfg -client HyperWorksDesktop -plugin HyperWorksPost -profile HyperWorksPost -f %PYTHON_SCRIPT% -b

Thanks almeidaaap for your reply, i used exactly the same line to execute in HPC, but without success. Later i understood, the Linux shell compiler in HPC was going to the next line without waiting for this line to complete. I have to sleep the compiler for some minutes to make sure the above line is executed. Not sure why this line is behaving like this. If you have some insights on this, kindly share with me.

Good day.
