Hi everyone,

I am trying to start a python script in ANSYS Workbench from Windows Command Prompt. This script has python commands which has an automation scheme in it. I am having slight issues with how to do this. Once in Workbench I do: File-->Scripting-->Run Script File...-->(change the file type to python)-->(then select my automation python script) Can someone please explain how to do this?

So far I am entering this into cmd: “C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v231\Framework\bin\Win64\RunWB2.exe” -r "C:\Users\jett\Desktop\ANSYStest1\BasicV2\WorkingProject.py"

I am getting a fatal error. Is there a more specific way to do this?

Thanks in advance

C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\V231\Framework\bin\win64\runwb2 -R workbenchscriptfile -I  should be the way of doing it if you want to your script interactively from the command prompt.

Does the workingproject.py script work when you run it from file>scripting>Run script file? If yes, try checking the file path for the script and see if the autocompletion feature helps to navigate to the correct path.
