Parameters:

• source_solver (hwString) – The source solver name or ID.

• destination_solver (hwString) – The destination solver name or ID.

• source_type (hwString) – The source solver template type.

• destination_type (hwString) – The destination solver template type.

• batch (hwString) –

  Flag that indicates if the conversion should be run in batch mode.

  0 - No batch mode

  1 - Batch mode for Solver Conversion

  2 - Batch mode for Unified Conversion

• config_file_path (hwString) –

  The full path for the configuration file containing the entity mapping details, to be used for the conversion. This is useful when the user has restrictions on modifying the file in the installation. When the configuration file path is not specified or the path is not valid, the conversion will use the default configuration file from the installation.

  It is recommended to use forward slashes while specifying the configuration file.

  It is supported for the following conversions:

  • OptiStruct/Nastran to Abaqus

  • Abaqus to OptiStruct/Nastran

Examples

Convert Abaqus Standard3D model to OptiStruct in batch mode
