The Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) automation interface to Synergy (the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow user interface) within the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Application Programming Interface (API) is provided by an OLE automation client.
The following are examples of OLE automation clients:
You can access Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight directly through the OLE interface by programming in a scripting language such as Visual Basic Script, or a programming language such as Visual Basic. While this is the most powerful and comprehensive way to access API functions, Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight also provides you with macro recording and playback functionality. This can ease your transition to using the API functionality and provide a more gradual introduction.
VBS is the common form of scripting language used in creating Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight API scripts. You can use the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight command line to run scripts that take parameters.
If you opened an earlier version of Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight on your last access, and you try to run a macro or script with unsupported features, the OLE interface will automatically open that earlier version of Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight, and your macro or script will fail to execute.
