The Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) automation interface to Synergy (the Autodesk Moldflow user interface) within the Autodesk Moldflow Application Programming Interface (API) is provided by an OLE automation client.
The following are examples of OLE automation clients:
You can access Autodesk 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 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 Moldflow Insight API scripts. You can use the Autodesk Moldflow Insight command line to run scripts that take parameters.
If you opened an earlier version of Autodesk 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 Moldflow Insight, and your macro or script will fail to execute.
