OLE Automatition Interface

[MFI-MaF]

Hi everybody,

I'm interrested in the automatition of Moldflow. I've read that its posssible to controll MF over the OLE with Python. But for the controlling (automatition) I need the library of the Moldflow API or? I've searched a lot for it but don't found it.

Does anybody know where I can find the needed library?

Thanks

Hello,

The API References in Autodesk SImulation Moldflow can be found by selecting the arrow next to the ASM help in Moldflow (see picture below) and selecting API Reference.

Hi 

Did you started using Python for Moldflow Automation ?

I'm trying to use Python as well, but since all the reference manuals are made with VB references, i dont know how to use it .

Thanks

Hi,

just wanted to add a link to an article:

How to find Moldflow API documentation and reference

from Autodesk Knowledge Network (AKN)

Hope this helps.

Hi Berndt,

Thanks !! but the references you mentioned is about using VBS.  But i'm looking for Python, i'm not sure how different the calling convention for VBS and Python .

first, it requires python and pywin32.

you must install pywin32.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/?source=navbar

simple example is below....

import pythoncom
import win32com.client

Synergy = win32com.client.Dispatch("synergy.Synergy")

Viewer = Synergy.Viewer
Viewer.Fit()

Hi Dinesh,

I am also planning to use Python for Moldflow Automation. May I know how you started it?  Did you get any support from the Autodesk team? 

Thanks
