RUNNING CAEPIPE/CAEPIPE 3D+ IN BATCH MODE

Steps to Run CAEPIPE/CAEPIPE 3D+ in Batch Mode
Create the Stress Model
o   Use the Layout window to build the stress model.
o   Once the model is created, export it to a Model Batch File (MBF) format via Layout Window > File > Export to MBF.
o   Alternatively, you can create the MBF file directly using a text editor such as Notepad as detailed under Import MBF above.
Run the Analysis and Output Results in CSV Format
o   Use the MBF file as an input argument to the CAEPIPE/CAEPIPE 3D+ executable.
o   Example: Assuming a file named StrModel.mbf is stored in C:\models and CAEPIPE3D is installed in C:\CAEPIPE3D\1320, follow these steps:
·       Open the Command Prompt in Windows.
·       Navigate to the CAEPIPE 3D+ installation folder by entering “cd C:\CAEPIPE3D\1320”
·       Execute the program in batch mode with the following command “CAEPIPE3D.exe C:\models\StrModel.mbf;batchmode=yes"
·       The results will be generated in CSV file format with name StrModel.csv and will be stored in the folder C:\models
Modify and Re-run the Analysis
o   Update the MBF file manually or through a script as needed.
o   Repeat Step 2 to execute the modified analysis and output results.
