How to run hypermesh in batch mode
I developed a script to setup a simulation and run it with the python API, but I am struggling to run it in batch mode.
I copied the code from this post but it does not work for me. When I run it in CMD it just doesn't do anything
Here is the code I am using in CMD:
"C:\Arquivos de Programas\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -cfg -client HyperWorksDesktop -plugin HyperworksPost -profile HyperworksPost -f C:\Users\joaog\Desktop\Udesc\TCC\Codigo Hypermesh deu certo agora vai\Main_Agora_Vai.py -b

Hello again,
can you please call HyperMesh directly (without the launcher)?
"C:\WORK\DevBuilds\2025.0.0.24\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -client HyperWorksDesktop -plugin HyperworksGeneral -profile HyperworksGeneral -l en -startwith HyperMesh -f "C:\Temp\batch_args_sysargv.py"If this not enough, can you please create a support request with your script so that my colleagues can investigate further?
Regards,
Michael

Thank you for your response!
I managed to run it from the CMD with this command:
"C:\Program Files\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -client HyperWorksDesktop -plugin HyperworksLauncher -profile HyperworksLauncher -l en -startwith HyperMesh -f "C:\Users\joaog\Desktop\Udesc\TCC\Codigo Hypermesh deu certo agora vai\Main Agora Vai.py"
But when I add -b to run it in batch mode it still doesn't do anything.

Hello @JoaoGunther ,
in your command line I see your Python file is inb
C:\Users\joaog\Desktop\Udesc\TCC\Codigo Hypermesh deu certo agora vai\Main Agora Vai.py
What if you remove all spaces and replace it with underscore instead?

I just ran a few tests. Replacing spaces with underscores, with and without -b.
Without -b it opens hypermesh as usual and runs my code without any issues.
But with -b in any position in the command line like below it starts hypermesh (I can see it in the task manager) but closes soon after.
"C:\Program Files\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -client HyperWorksDesktop -plugin HyperworksLauncher -profile HyperworksLauncher -l en -startwith HyperMesh -b -f "C:\Users\joaog\Desktop\Udesc\TCC\Codigo_Hypermesh_deu_certo_agora_vai\Main_Agora_Vai.py"
