Run Batch Mode

After the Composite Material Manager input file has been created, Batch Mode is executed by submitting the following command from a command prompt:

>>%AUTODESKDIR%\Helius PFA 20XX.X\bin\matman [input file name]

In the above, %AUTODESK% is the location of the Autodesk installation directory and [input file name] is the name (with directory if the input file resides in a directory that is different than the current command prompt directory) of the Composite Material Manager input file. For example, consider the following commands:

>>C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Helius PFA 20XX.X\bin\matman example_input_file.cmm

>>C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Helius PFA 20XX.X\bin\matman C:\materials\example_input_file.cmm

Upon completion, an mdata.xml file and the .cmm input file will be saved to the directory specified by the *SOLVE keyword.
