where is ANSYS 13 mechanical batch file located

[lopessilva]

Hello,

I´m using ANSYS 13 and I need to run optimization with an external program. Can you please tell me where the batch file is located on ANSYS 13 mechanical and what is its name?

regards,
Hugo

In V14 it's located here.

C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140\ansys\bin\winx64\ANSYS140.exe

The arguments to run in batch mode are a little complicated. Open the ANSYS product launcher to see the correct syntax for your setup. Go to Tools | Display Command Line. The command will look something like this for a file model.inp in the directory C:\Temp (ANSYS Mechanical license).

"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140\ansys\bin\winx64\ANSYS140.exe" -p ansys -dir "C:\Temp" -j "model" -b -i "model.inp" -o "C:\Temp\model.out"
