Is it possible to run the ANSYS Additive module through command prompt or batch scripts? I am attempting to run with command prompt using the script below, the additive program GUI opens (which I don't think it should when running in batch mode), but nothing else happens.

 

"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v231\AddPrint\Additive 23.1.exe" -b -i "C:\Users\cnadkins\Desktop\Batch Test\simulation_196_export.aasp" -o "C:\Users\cnadkins\Desktop\Batch Test"

It should work, but be sure to also specific -amfg when you launch APDL in batch.  See below.

Hello John, sorry for the delay but I am revisiting this topic.

Just to clarify, I am attempting to run the "ANSYS Additive Print and Science" module through a batch script. This module is its own application with a GUI that is seperate from the mechanical workbench. Here is a page of documentation on this module:

Additive Print and Science User's Guide

Using the module, I can export a .aasp file that contains the simulation parameters, but as of yet I have been unsucessful in importint this file to APDL, either using batch or with the GUI.
Is running this simulation through APDL in batch possible? If so what steps should I take?
Thanks again for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated.
