how to run ansys wb in command line and solve the model automatically?

[andradesilva]

Hello,

I am trying to run a workbench project file in batch mode. I can run it, the command line opens the ansys wb project, however, it does not solve the model. I need the model to be solved automatically upon command execution. I think I have to add -e <command> However, I don't know what command should I use to solve the model automatically.

Can you help me? I am using ansys wb 18.1.

I am using the command as described here:

Thanks in advance,
AndradeSilva

Check the WB file. There is likely a /EOF command a couple lines above the SOLVE command. That is preventing anything below the /EOF command from execution.
