how to automate multiple ANSYS APDL input files run to get results output

[hmalfs]

Hi,

I am using ANSYS Mechanical APDL in the company I am working in and I need to run +100 APDL input files. What should I do to automate the process? I would like to know if there is any tool that allows me to create of input files to be run by order and save the relevant parameters to text files: mass, stress, deflection, whatever I want. If I have to run them all manually I will get crazy very soon. Each one takes a loooooong time to complete. If I could automate the process I could do anything else while I wait for the results. I already have on the input file the code for the results output. The most important is how to automately run +100 ANSYS input files.

Any help appreciated!.

regards,
hmalfs
