Hello,

for CFX 11:

I would like run several def-file serial (automatic). The Solver Manager allows this only for one def-file. If I can predefine files for a queue, the calculation can run over night e.g. Thank's for your help. Toralf

Here is an example of a batch file to run multiple def files from the command line. Your start method may vary if you are running single or parallel, etc. Run the batch from a command line from the launcher, so the paths are correct.

echo start echo cfx5solve -def YOUR_FILE26.def -start-method "MPICH2 Local Parallel for Windows" -part 2 -s 1.2 echo done with 26 echo cfx5solve -def YOUR_FILE16.def -start-method "MPICH2 Local Parallel for Windows" -part 2 -s 1.2 echo done with 16 echo echo done with runs

The line returns did not stay with the post, but the main line of importance would be:

cfx5solve -def YOUR_FILE26.def -start-method "MPICH2 Local Parallel for Windows" -part 2 -s 1.2

1) Open a text file

2) Write down following in to it..

cfx5solve -def abc.def cfx5solve -def xyz.def

Add as many def files as you want in to it. Remember one def file per line.

3) Save this text file in to folder where all your .def files are kept. Keep all def files & this text file in same folder.

4) Change extension of text file to *.bat (Batch file)

5) Open CFX Launcher & select folder where all above files are kept as working directory.

6) Open Tools > Command line from launcher window

7) Type your batch file (*.bat) name that you just created along with extension & press Enter

8) Keep this command line window open. Do not close it. Solution of all def files mentioned in batch file will be executed one by one.

Hope this helps.

Best luck,

Chirag
