Execute Geostar from Matlab 1

[ouzi90]

Hello every body,

I'm new on the forum, so i hope i whrite in the good forum. The question is in the subject : do you know the command line or script to execute geostar (the "brain" of Solidworks FEA Simulation software) from the soft Matlab ? I have already the script for Ansys, but I don't find the same for geostar.

Thank you for your answers.

Vince,

It seems to me that once upon a time I did this, but since geostar is a user interface I am not sure what this will buy you. It used to be you could contact SRAC directly but with SW interposing their people now the chances of finding someone who knows how to do this is slim.

if geostar has an option of script processing (as ansys, abaqus), you can simply generate the apropriate script and feed it to the solver. don't know though. check the geostar help/ api.

Geostar can record and process scripts from within the user interface. This is generally very useful in making parametric models. There is a scripting language as well that can be used to update a model based on the results of a previous run. But I haven't had time yet to see if there is a mechanism to feed that script directly into geostar on a command line prompt.

Dear Vince,
You can run GEOSTAR from a MS-DOS window issuing the following command:
GEOSTAR "problem_name" "model.geo"

if "problem_name" do not exist, then GEOSTAR will create the database. And also will read the content of file "model.geo" and will execute line by line and then to create the data base.

In order to run GEOSTAR from an MS-DOS window or script command from MATLAB you must make sure to add the COSMOS path to the system PATH variable.

Best regards,
Blas.

Blas, I've been trying to find your contact info. I figured if anyone knew that you would.

And you can programatically write any commands you want in the .geo file. Either a full blown analysis file or just some tweaks to parameters.
