I am trying to run CFX from another software and using a batch file like this:

"C:\Program Files\......\cfx5solve.exe" -batch -def part1.def -name part1 -s 1

I am fixing the parallel run and double precision in cfx file from simulation control option.

But my problem is every time i need to click the run option in cfx . what i need to change in batch file to make the system automatic without the requirement to click run manually?

Have a look in the documentation under the section "Running from the Command Line".

In your example command line, I suspect you don't need the -batch, -name and the -s options, it should just be "<PATH>\cfx5solve -def part1.def"

Hi,

I tried with your suggestion, but still it's the same, i have to start the solver manually. Please see the attached picture.I have to click on the start run option to start the solver.

My question is what command should i use to make this thing automatic.

[ghorrocks]

The best way is to fire up a command line from the CFX Launcher (Tools/Command Line) as that automatically includes the path to all the CFX executables in it. Then type cfx5slove -def YourFile.def and it will go.

I don't know why you posted an image of Solver Manager, you don't use it when you run from the command line.

@ghorrocks

Thank you for your suggestions and what you told is working. Probably i did not explain my problem properly.

I am trying to create an automatic optimization loop, where icem, cfxpre and cfx solver will run in a manner without human intervention.I am able to do that with icem and cfxpre, but i am stuck with cfx solver.
So every time i am running the batch file,the cfx solver manager pops up and i need to click 'start run' to start the solver. That's why i attached the picture.
I am attaching .bat file, its in text format.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Have you tried using the "cfx5solve -def part1.def" as I suggested in post #2? I never get the solver manager popping up and I use the command line frequently - but I never use the -batch option.

Also: Workbench has optimisation built in across the ANSYS suite. You can pass variables around as parameters. Have you considered doing your optimisation in workbench?

[adilarvind]

Yes, i tried whatever you told. Solver manager is not popping up if i use command line from cfx launcher as you told in post#3.

But as you told in post #2, without using batch file, it's still the same. I have no clue why it is happening.

I know optimization is possible through workbench, but there is some particular reason why i am trying this. So i must make it run automatically, but i am kind of stuck now.

maybe you could just post here the complete command that you use and we look for your mistake? I think most of us use commend line and it is pretty straight forward if you just followed the manual...

edit: mine looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v181\CFX\bin\cfx5solve.exe" -batch -double -par-local -part 8 -def P1070_317rpm_832L_B0.def -ini-file P1070_317rpm_832L_B0_FR_001.res -pri 1 -size-nr 1.2x -size-ni 1.2x

and it works just fine without anything popping up.

Thanks to all, apparently i found out the problem and solution.

It was the problem with batch file for cfx pre,there it was mentioned to start cfx solver interactively.
