Learn how the Task Builder helps you to create new tasks, data types, and processes, and save them inside of catalogs
that are easily accessible from the Task and Process browsers.
During an Automate session, you can save your work in progress, and at any given time reload the session and resume

On the tree in the Task Browser, click Demo > Basic > Math > MathTask.
Note: Your Task Browser should include a default catalog called MathTask. If the
catalog does not appear on the tree of the Task Browser, load the catalog
file from the HyperWorks installation directory
on your system:
<install_directory>\demos\automate\1_math_task_basic_datatype.
Drag and drop the MathTask into the Process Modeling window. This task is
pre-defined to add two inputs and produce one output as follows:
input_1 = 1
input_2 = 2
output = 3
Note: input_1, input_2 and output are element attributes that you can define in
the Task Implementation file.
On the toolbar, click to
execute the task.
The results of the task are
displayed in the command window, as you see outlined in red in
the following image:
Tip: If the command window is hidden on your
screen, hover over the edge of the Process Modeling window, and then click and drag
to open the command window.
