Batch mode between Matlab and Hypermesh

Please tell me a step-wise process of how to create batch mode between Matlab and Hypermesh. If possible with codes in it?

Hello,

Are you trying to run hypermesh in batch mode using Matlab?

You can try this (the full path for hmbatch.exe and the tcl script is required):

system("'/hm/bin/win64/hmbatch.exe' -tcl 'script.tcl'")

But I have never used batch mode before.

Hi Eric, what if my solver is optistruct. Can I use the same line?

@Eric Trudel By script, do you mean the command.tcl file generated after creation of model?

Hi Adeline,

To create a batch mode interaction between MATLAB and HyperMesh, you can use MATLAB's system commands to call Hypermesh scripts. Start by writing a HyperMesh script (.tcl or .hm script) for the operations you need. Then, from MATLAB, use the "system" command to execute HyperMesh with the script as an argument. Ensure that both MATLAB and HyperMesh are properly installed and configured to run from the command line.

The following is the command that you can use in your MATLAB command line:

system('hypermesh -tcl yourscript.tcl')

The following is an example of a tcl script that you would write:

# Start Hypermesh in batch

# Load a model file
*openmodel "path/to/your/model.hm"

# Execute any operations of your choice here

# Save model here
*feoutput "OptiStruct" "path/to/your/output/file.fem" 0 0 1 1
