Is it possible to run AUTODYN in batch on Windows?
|
It is possible to solve AUTODYN models in batch mode for either version 6.1 or 11.0 on Windows XP. (For version 11.0, consult "Start menu > Programs > ANSYS 11.0 > Help > ANSYS AUTODYN Help: AUTODYN Quick Start Guide > Running AUTODYN in Batch Mode on Windows Platforms" for further details.) The way in which AUTODYN runs in batch is through the use of .dat files. There are several .dat files of interest. savedirs.dat: Working directory for data files datadir.dat: Working directory for data files (11.0 only) setbat.dat: List of ident and cycles to run from working directory These files normally reside in the 'configuration' directory (AUTODYN program directory for 6.1 or in C:Documents and Settings<USER>Application DataAnsysv110AUTODYN for 11.0. Except for "savedirs.dat", the other two files can reside in the working directory. When AUTODYN is launched and sees these .dat files, it then knows what working directory and which idents to process. During the batch solution, two other .dat files can be created by the user in the working or configuration directory: endbat.dat: Stop solution at end of current cycle savenow.dat: Write a restart file at end of current cycle If parallel processing is to be run, additional environment variables maybe set in the DOS batch file for those specifications. A sample DOS batch file for AUTODYN 11.0 is shown below. Change WORKING_DIR to your working directory, WORKING_IDENT to the ident name, and replace <USER> with your username. ------------begin batch file @echo off rem **************************************** rem For AUTODYN 11.0 rem Set the following environment variables rem **************************************** set WORKING_DIR=D:my_project_dir set WORKING_IDENT=my_model_name set WORKING_CYCLE=0 rem -- change below to AUTODYN program dir for 6.1 set AUTODYN_DAT=C:Documents and Settings<USER>Application DataAnsysv110AUTODYN rem -- change below to AUTODYN program dir for 6.1 set AUTODYN_DIR=C:Program FilesANSYS Incv110AISOLAUTODYNintel rem -- below for parallel processing only set WMPIBIN_DIR=C:Program FilesWMPIbin rem ---------------------------------------- rem Environment variables rem ---------------------------------------- rem -- below for parallel processing only set PATH=%WMPIBIN_DIR%;%PATH% set WMPI_MASTER_ERROR_OUTPUT=%WORKING_DIR%wmpi_master_err.log set WMPI_SLAVE_ERROR_OUTPUT=%WORKING_DIR%wmpi_slave_err.log rem -- remove below for 6.1 set WMPI_CLUSTER_CONF_FILE=%AUTODYN_DAT%wmpi.clusterconf rem -- remove below for6.1 set WMPI_PG_FILENAME=%AUTODYN_DAT%autodyn.pg cd /d %AUTODYN_DAT% rem ---------------------------------------- rem setbat.dat rem ---------------------------------------- echo %WORKING_IDENT% > setbat.dat echo %WORKING_CYCLE% >> setbat.dat rem ---------------------------------------- rem savedirs.dat rem ---------------------------------------- echo %WORKING_DIR% > savedirs.dat echo %WORKING_DIR% >> savedirs.dat rem ---------------------------------------- rem datadir.dat rem ---------------------------------------- rem -- remove below for 6.1 echo %WORKING_DIR% > datadir.dat rem -- remove below for 6.1 echo %WORKING_DIR% >> datadir.dat cd /d %AUTODYN_DIR% rem ---------------------------------------- rem Run AUTODYN rem ---------------------------------------- rem -- replace below with "autodynv6.exe" for 6.1 autodyn.exe ------------end batch file For AUTODYN 6.1, replace "autodyn.exe" with "autodynv6.exe". Furthermore, change "AUTODYN_DAT" and "AUTODYN_DIR" environment variables to the AUTODYN program directory (e.g., C:AUTODYNadv61 for default single-precision version of AUTODYN 6.1 or C:AUTODYNadv61_intel_dp for Intel Fortran-compatible double-precision version of AUTODYN 6.1). |
