Multithreading in HM2017

which results do you want to calculate?

it is possible to create threads but i don't think they can access hm database

creating threads is simple, but dividing jobs may be tough

Are you speaking about Solver?

For Hypermesh (Pre-Post) I don't think you can do something about this: either works, either does not work, that's all. 

Dear @tinh and @Q.Nguyen-Dai,

1. I need to import a model and then extract its geometry in threads. Like I need to extract Faces , Edges & Elements in parallel threads to save time. 

2. I also wan't to display a GUI, which goes into 'not responding' loop while long calculations. So I want to display this GUI using one more parallel thread.

(P.S. : Not able to Display GUI in threads using HM. Whenever I source my GUI file, it does not display any GUI, but in Main Thread, its working fine.)

Is it possible with Hypermesh 2017 ?

Thanks for help.

Regards

what do you mean by 'extract face, edge, elem' ?

could you give an example?

Dear @tinh

1. Import Geometry file in Hypermesh

2. This Step is Divided into 3 steps (using Multithreading)

2.1  eval *createmark elems 1 all;  set 3d_elems [hm_getmark elems 1];

2.2 eval *createmark elems 1 all;  *findfaces elems 1; eval *createmark elems 2 'by collector name' '^faces';  set 2d_elems [hm_getmark elems 1];

2.3 eval *createmark elems 1 $all ;   *findedges elems 1 0;  eval *createmark elems 1 'by collector name' '^edges';  set tempp [hm_getmark elems 1];

I need to complete this 2nd step using 3 child threads parallel.

This is just an example, via which I need to do computations simultaneously.

And I also wan't to display a GUI, which gets 'not responding forever' while long computation again & again. 

I wan't the GUI to be active in this condition.

Best Regards

It is impossible,

as I said, i am not sure how child threads can access hm database

they just load an tcl interp to perform calculations, i think so.

if you find a way to do that please tell me.

Good luck to Piyush  /emoticons/default_biggrin.png' srcset='/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x' title=':D' width='20' />

Dear @tinh

I have tried hm_database access using threads, I am not able to access.

Then, Child Thread can display a GUI, which keeps updating even with Long Calculations in Hypermesh ?

I am not able to display GUI (eg. A button widget) using Child Thread in Hypermesh.

Is this also possible ?

forget MT in hm, it just mess up your codes. 

simply use update command to keep gui updating
