I have a Mechanical script that I can run by opening Mechanical and clicking Scripting>>Open script>>Run. How can I run this script in a batch mode?

Here are two options:
1) Using PyMechanical:
In Python:
## import pyMech from ansys.mechanical.core import launch_mechanical ## Launch Mechanical mechanical = launch_mechanical() ## Load mechdb file (optional) mechDBfile = r'D:\Temp\SYS.mechdb' cmd = 'ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Open(r"{}")'.format(mechDBfile) mechanical.run_python_script(cmd) ## Run Script mechScriptfile = r'D:\Temp\MechScript.py' mechanical.run_python_script_from_file(mechScriptfile)
2) Through Workbench:
In command line (-F is optional to open an existing project):
"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v212\Framework\bin\Win64\RunWB2.exe" -B -F "D:\Temp\MyProject.wbpj" -R D:\Temp\main.wbjn"
Main.wbjn:
with open(r'D:\Temp\MechScript.py') as f: MechCMDS= f.read() system1 = GetAllSystems()[0] model1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Model") model1.Edit(Hidden=True) model1.SendCommand(Command=MechCMDS,Language="Python")
NOTE: When using Mechanical to mesh a Fluid system, change
model1.Edit(Hidden=True)
to
model1.Edit(Interactive=False)
