(For context, I have a solid background with MATLAB and Python and a little experience with APDL.) Currently, I have a Workbench project with Fluent and Structural components on a local machine. The license and computing resources required to solve my model are located on a separate machine that is accessed using a Linux command terminal. <\/p>\n<p>1) Is there any way to export my Workbench project as a batch file that I can solve on a separate machine? I need to a) export the batch file, b) find the command line entry to solve the batch file, and c) locate the solution file after solving.<\/p>\n<p> 2) Is there a way to edit my model in headless mode, i.e. using only a script editor? I especially want to be able to edit geometries, element types, and contact types. I have so far been able to find the Python script editor inside Mechanical, but I cannot find much documentation. If I could just work with APDL script without having to open Workbench, I think this would help a great deal.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for any directions or resources you can point me to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-162912","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-batch","topic-tag-mechanical-apdl","topic-tag-scripting-journaling-udf-2","topic-tag-workbench"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_view_count":["296"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2982"],"_bbp_subscription":["252536"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["162912"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","228976","230535"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["194255"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["194255"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-11-02 05:01:44"]},"test":"crumbergiu-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/162912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/162912\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
