automatic import of many bdf meshes in moldflow - how could this work

[phammer]

Hi everybody,

I want to add some meshes to a study. Yes i can do this by hand with the add command, but I don't want to do this with mare than 20 meshes.

I was thinking of if there would be a possibility to write a script that imports bdf files in a folder to a study. Would this be possible?

Greetings Philipp

Hi,

this should be possible.

You need to use File System Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

to collect files from a folder.

You can then loop through the files and use:

StudyDoc.AddFile

Here is an example:

'Creating File System Object 
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")   

'Getting the Folder Object 
'Only the files to be added in this folder
Set ObjFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\Temp\add_files")   

'Getting the list of Files 
Set ObjFiles = ObjFolder.Files   

'Getting the Path and Name of each File and Add
SetLocale("en-us")
Set Synergy = CreateObject("synergy.Synergy")
Synergy.SetUnits "Metric" 
i=0
 Set ImpOpts = Synergy.ImportOptions()
 Set StudyDoc = Synergy.StudyDoc()
 'ImpOpts.MeshType "3D"
 'ImpOpts.Units "mm"
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles     
 StudyDoc.AddFile ObjFile.Path, ImpOpts, False
 i = i + 1
Next  

MsgBox "Files Added: " & i ,, "Information"

 The import options are outprompted, but might need to be adjusted for your purpose.

You can copy above code to a text-file and save as vbs.

Change path or copy bdf-files to folder as in script, and give it a try.

Hope this helps.
