Batch Conversion Tools
Batch mode conversion is available for all solver interfaces.
To use batch mode conversion you must run a .tcl file in batch mode using hmbatch.exe.
Example: Convert Abaqus to OptiStruct
When running this .tcl file in batch mode,
use the following commands in Windows and Linux:
<altair_home>/hm/bin/<platform>/hmbatch.exe -tcl </home/user/my_script.tcl>## Bath mode conversion for Abaqus to Optistruct
## Note - Please keep the source model and script in the same folder
## Please replace XXXXX with name of the source deck and the destination files.
set altairHome [ hm_info -appinfo "ALTAIR_HOME" ]
set scriptFolder [ file dirname [info script] ]
