MotionView in Batch Mode
Batch mode allows you to generate a solver input model file from an MDL model file and run the solver job without starting the MotionView user interface.
- On Windows: ~altair_install/io/translators/bin/win64/mdl_batch.bat
- On Linux: ~altair_install/altair/scripts/mdl_batch
mdl_batch [input_filename] [output_filename] [solver_name] <options>
input_filename
- The name of the input file.
output_filename
- The name of the output file. Basename only.
solver_name
- The name of the solver to which to export.
- Argument
- Solver Name
- MotionSolve
- MotionSolve
- ADAMS
- ADAMS
- Abaqus
- Abaqus
<options> (solver-specific)
The format is:-Option:Value
-ANALYSIS:var_name
or -ANALYSIS:ALL |
Select the analysis for the export with the given varname of the analysis.
or Use ALL to export solver file for all existing analyses in the MDL. If this option is not specified, the solver file will be created with the active analysis if there any in the MDL. |
-SCRIPT:scriptname |
Execute the solver script with the scriptname after the export. The script with the scriptname should be registered into MotionView using the preference statement *RegisterSolverScript() through a preference file. |
-MAF:true or -MAF:false |
An .maf file will be generated along with the solver
deck. or An .maf file will not be generated. Note: This will override a setting related to writing an MAF file
that is saved in the input file (.mdl).
|
or
|
The model is checked for errors before writing of the solver deck. In the case
of errors, a log is generated (runfile_mdlbatch.log) and the
solver deck is not created. or The solver deck is created without checking the model for errors. Default: false |
Example
C:\Users\Tutorials>"C:\Program Files\Altair\2017\io\translators\bin\win64\mdl_batch.bat" front_susp.mdl
C:/Users/Tutorials/Runs/ride.xml MotionSolve -ANALYSIS:an_ride_frnt-SCRIPT:MotionSolve
mdl_batch
would export the model from
front_susp.mdl
to MotionSolve XML
ride.xml
with the analysis an_ride_frnt
and execute the
solver script MotionSolve
.C:\Users\Tutorials>"C:\ProgramFiles\Altair\2017\io\translators\bin\win64\mdl_batch.bat" front_susp.mdl
C:/Users/Tutorials/Runs/all_analysis.admADAMS-ANALYSIS:ALL-MAF:true
In this example, the mdl_batch
would export the model from
front_susp.mdl to ADAMS adm
all_analysis_[analysis_varname].adm
and acf
for all
analyses present in the mdl along with saving a corresponding .MAF file
for each analysis.
