Problem with ANSYS command line [yes/no] dialogues

[TheodoreL]

I have input files that I would like to run from the Linux command line without using the GUI. I issue the command

ansys110 -g off -i inputfile -j jobname

However in my input file I also am using the MODMSH,DETACH command and during the input processing I get the message

"DESTROY ASSOCIATIVITY OF FINITE ELEMENT MODEL AND SOLID MODEL

*** WARNING *** CP = 0.280 TIME= 11:43:07
CLEAR, SELECT, AND MESH BOUNDARY CONDITION COMMANDS WILL NOT BE
POSSIBLE.
Should the MODM command be executed? [y/n]

*** NOTE *** CP = 0.290 TIME= 11:43:07
*** The MODMSH command aborted *** "


It executes and automatically chooses no and then kills my simulation run. When I run it through the GUI it automatically selects yes and runs just fine. How do I tell it to select yes or suppress the warnings when not using the GUI?

Have you tried:

ansys110 -b -i inputfile -j jobname

I would also include a /BATCH command at the top of the input file.

Thank you, via trial and error the "-b" flag did fix the problem and it ran fine after that.
