Sometimes, you may want to solve and update the results of several Discovery AIM projects one after another. This process can be automated using a .bat file and a journal file.

Attached is a sample journal file (test.wbjn) containing commands which perform the following operations:

1. Opens AIM project file

2. Updates the Physics task

3. Updates the Results task

4. Saves (overwrites) the project.

This journal file can be easily created by recording the above steps using File – Scripting – Record Journal.

The recorded commands can then be copied in the same journal and the project name (and directory, if required) can be replaced with other projects.

Once the journal file is created, save it in a particular location.

Download and unzip the attached .bat file (aim-sequential) and open it in any text editor (like Notepad).

Replace the journal filename (*.wbjn) and its path with the journal file that you saved.

Save the .bat file and close it. It is not necessary to have the AIM projects, the journal file and the .bat file in the same location.

Finally, double click on the .bat file. It will launch a new session of Discovery AIM 2019 R3 and run the journal file and execute the commands.

Note: If any of the AIM projects reach the iteration limits without reaching convergence, there is pop-up message for marking the solution as up-to-date. Currently, this step of marking the solution as up-to-date can’t be automated. Users will have to manually select the option for marking the solution as up-to-date. Once done, the next set of commands will continue to run.
