How to use a script to turn off Moldflow synergy

Hi,

Just want to have some more input of what you are looking for.

Do you mean to terminate Moldflow Synergy from a script that started Synergy?

Or do you mean to terminate all running Moldflow Synergy from a script? 

Regards,

Berndt

Dim SynergyGetter, Synergy
On Error Resume Next
Set SynergyGetter = GetObject(CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SAInstance%"))
On Error GoTo 0
If (Not IsEmpty(SynergyGetter)) Then
Set Synergy = SynergyGetter.GetSASynergy
Else
Set Synergy = CreateObject("synergy.Synergy")
End If
Synergy.SetUnits "Metric"
Dim ProjectPath,Project
ProjectPath = "XXX"
Synergy.OpenProject(ProjectPath)
Set Project = Synergy.Project()
Project.OpenItemByIndex 1
Project.ExportModel "XXXX"

I want to close Moldflow after I've done this

Hi,

you could try this.

Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "taskkill /fi ""WINDOWTITLE eq Autodesk Moldflow Insight 2023""",0,False

It looks up the window title and stops Synergy.

Assume only one Synergy is started.

If killed before other tasks in script completed a wait might be needed such as :

WScript.Sleep 10000  ' in milliseconds, so a 10s wait.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Berndt
