Problem with batch meshing

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

I am a new user of batchmesh with hypermesh..

I tried to batch automatically a geometry and export the mesh by using the code I found in command.tcl.

It works perfectly with the command window in Hypermesh.

I tried to mesh it with this windows command in a .bat :

'C:/Program Files/Altair/2017/hw/bin/win64/hw.exe' -b -clientconfig hwfepre.dat -uAnsys -tcl myscript.tcl 

 

And I get this error message :

Command line Tcl script read failed.
0
    while executing
'*dictionaryload sensors 1 'C:/Program Files/Altair/2017/templates/feoutput/ansys/ansys.tpl' 'SOLID186''
    (file 'myscript.tcl' line 35)
    invoked from within
'source 'myscript.tcl''

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

Here below myscript.tcl

Hello @matrou

 

In most cases you have to load the template file, instead of select UserProfile if using BatchMode.
Please try to add the this line for beginning of your script and remove '-uAnsys' argument.

 *templatefileset [file join [hm_info -appinfo ALTAIR_HOME] templates feoutput ansys ansys.tpl];

 

Thanks,
Imoto
