Queue up simulations (ANSYS APDL)

[Dave442]

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to queue up simulations in ANSYS APDL 12.1. I have read that simulations can be queued from the product launcher on UNIX systems but I am running on Windows.

I was wondering if I could write a batch file to do this but am thinking that there may be an easier method that i am unaware of.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Writing a batch file to do this is extremely easy. Read this section in the help and you'll see that it's painless and probably easier than creating a queue of jobs interactively.

Hi Stringmaker,

Thanks for the quick response. I can write up batch files for the individual jobs OK, what Im not sure how to do is write the code to open the jobs and run them sequentially.

I have been browsing the help file and cant find any information on this. Could you describe what I need to do, or even point me in the right direction? Browsing online I have read that I may need to write a shell script to automatically open and run the individual jobs?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Dave
