Launching an analysis from the command line on PC

The usual method of launching an analysis is to either select Analyze Now! in the Study Tasks pane, or to submit analysis jobs in the Job Manager dialog. A alternative method is to launch an analysis from the command line using a utility called runstudy that is installed with the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight software.

Note: For full details of the command parameters accepted by the runstudy command, including a parameter to specify the directory where the temporary files of the analysis are created, enter runstudy without any parameters.

1. In Synergy, set up and save the analysis you want to run.
2. Right-click on the study name in the Project View pane, and then select Properties to find the name of the study file.
3. Select Start > All Programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight 20xx > Tools > Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight 20xx Command Shell. The command shell will open at the project directory specified in the software installation process.
4. Use the DOS cd command to navigate to the folder where the study you want to launch is located.
5. Enter runstudy -project project_namestudy_name where project_name is the name of the project file (.mpi), and study_name is the name of the study (.sdy) file.
