Use the Parameters Browser to parameterize the contents of a session file or report template and automate a variety of analysis processes with
the Parameters Browser.
Use the Process Manager to rapidly develop and deploy process automation applications for standard product engineering practices within the
HyperWorks environment using the Process Manager.
Learn how the Task Builder helps you to create new tasks, data types, and processes, and save them inside of catalogs
that are easily accessible from the Task and Process browsers.
During an Automate session, you can save your work in progress, and at any given time reload the session and resume
working from the exact point where you left off.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.
Overview of external readers and the Altair Binary Format, the generic ASCII reader, running HyperWorks in batch mode, using Tcl/Tk commands, translators, and result math.
Use the Batch Mode function to create a process and share it as a
package.
The package serves to run the contained process without user interaction, even if the
process itself includes interactive tasks.
Create a process as you see in the following figure:
Figure 1.
To create a package, in the command window, enter
::hw::automate::ExportProcessAsCommand math task mathtask help
{c:\batchprocess}.
For more details about this command, see External Interfaces.
The command window shows that the package is created
for the process: Figure 2.
On your system, locate the package in the directory
C:/batchprocess/mathtask. The package includes the
following: Figure 3.
From a text editor open the file: C:\batchprocess\mathtask\mathtask
Package\mathtask Simple Wizard.tcl.
The script should look something like this: Figure 4.
From the text editor, make any required changes to the file, save the changes
and then copy the file path.
In the Automate command window, enter the file path:
source {C:\batchprocess\mathtask\mathtask Package\mathtask Simple
Wizard.tcl}.
The process from the package runs automatically:
Figure 5.
Any Automate user who has access to this package can run the process in
the same fashion.
