automate Pointwise
Hi All,
is it possible to automate the execution of some Pointwise scripts? Did anyone did that before and has some advice for me? :o i am thinking of a batch file to execute a whole list of scripts (i am creating boundary layers for a lot of different airfoil "sections" consisting of 2 different airfoils) the scripts are working well, therefore there shouldn't be any default message due to the execution process. Thanks a lot. :) Vanessa |
Hi Vanessa:
You should be able to write a "master" script in your favorite scripting language (sh, Perl, Tcl, Python) that runs Pointwise with each of your scripts. You'd do stuff like pointwise -b script1.glf pointwise -b script2.glf pointwise -b script3.glf etc. (The -b means run in batch. You'll need to make sure your script output goes to unique files.) Hope this helps. |
long time ago :eek:
i just tried to make up a batch file with executing my scripts but it won't work and i always get a fatal error: batch file: Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pointwise\PointwiseV17.1R4\win64\bin\Pointwise.exe" -b PW_1_ALL_2D_Mesh.glf Code:
Fatal: Usage: Do I have to add something in the command line? Thanks a lot |
Vanessa,
The -b option only works on non-windows machines. For windows, you can launch the script directly in the Pointwise Tcl shell. tclsh.exe is located in the same ...\bin folder as Pointwise.exe. To make using tclsh.exe easier you can:
To run the script: c:> tclsh script.glfI hope this helps. * The bat file should contain something like:
