Included in MotionSolve is a script which runs all three
MotionSolve modules in sequence to solve the multi-body
model and produce result files.
For Windows, this script is called motionsolve.bat and is located in the
folder [install-path]\hwsolvers\scripts. You can use this
script to run MotionSolve at the command prompt as
follows.
-
For Windows, open a DOS prompt to obtain the command window.
-
At the command prompt, type:
[install-path]\hwsolvers\scripts\motionsolve.bat
input_filename.[fem,acf,xml]
The input can be an OptiStruct bulk data file, in
which case the extension does not matter. The input may also be an ADAMS input
file, in which case the ACF filename should be supplied. The first line of the
ACF file must contain a reference to the ADM file. Finally, the input may also
be a MotionSolve XML file.
-
To get a description of all possible command line options, type the following
at the command prompt:motionsolve -help
The
-delay option delays the start of a
MotionSolve run for the specified number of seconds. This
functionality does not use licenses, computer memory or CPU before the start of
the run (the delay expires).
Note:
- The -delay option can only be used for a single
job. Delays cannot be scheduled for multiple jobs in a queue.
- If the run is started using the Compute Console, the Schedule delay
option should be used.
Alternatively, you can also run MotionSolve via
an executable, mbd_d.exe. The advantage of this method is that
you can specify the MotionSolve environment variables
directly, which you cannot when using motionsolve.bat. Usually,
calling motionsolve.bat is the preferred method to run MotionSolve from command line.
-
For Windows, locate the file mbd_d.exe in the folder
[install-path]\hwsolvers\motionsolve\bin\<platform>.
-
To run these modules, set the following environment variables:
-
NUSOL_DLL_DIR
-
PATH
-
RADFLEX_PATH
-
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Only on Linux
machines)
