problems with batch-file, queue of jobs

November 24, 2006, 08:42

I want to run several jobs over the weekend, the following one should start when the latter has finished.

I tried the following command line starting from my working directory in the launcher

D:\workingDIR>cfx5solve -def cfx1.def -initial cfx1.res

and it worked fine.

How do I queue the other jobs?

"D:\workingDIR>cfx5solve -def cfx1.def -initial cfx1.res cfx5solve -def cfx2.def -initial cfx2.res" did not work

neither did anything else I tried.

Please help!

Put each command in separate lines in a .bat file, then run the bat file. The next line will not execute until the first cfx5solve process exits.

I always use a perl script. It seems I can use a bat file to do the same thing.

It's documented at the ANSYS CFX Community web pages. Look for "Running solver jobs in batch and job scheduling"
