Does Hypermesh have a batch mode for running python scripts?

Hello William,

Sure, you can run python script for HyperMesh in batch mode using -b and -f with the following commands : 
<altair_home>\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe -client HyperworksDesktop -plugin HyperworksGeneral -profile HyperworksGeneral -b -f <python_file_path>

For instance:
D:\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe -client HyperworksDesktop -plugin HyperworksGeneral -profile HyperworksGeneral -b -f D:\batch_temp.py

Hi Fred,

I've tried that method and related posts to batch processing. None has worked so far.

When I run it as this, it prints "hello" just fine:

"C:\Program Files\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -client HyperworksDesktop -plugin HyperworksGeneral -profile HyperworksGeneral -f D:\check.py

However, nothing shows in the command prompt or task manager when I run it with "-b":

"C:\Program Files\Altair\2025\hwdesktop\hwx\bin\win64\runhwx.exe" -client HyperworksDesktop -plugin HyperworksGeneral -profile HyperworksGeneral -b -f D:\check.py

I expect to see it print "Hello" as I would with a -tcl script, but nothing happens.

I may be wrong, but it seems like Hypermesh 2025 desktop does not have "-b" as a working feature for me.

Sincerely, William

Is there anyway I can get further assistance on this issue?

Sincerely, William
