Personally, I'd rather you keep this to the list... both because I find it interesting, and also because I think it would be valuable for archival purposes, whether or not anyone else here finds it interesting right now.

If you like we can pull this offline since its not really alchemi related. If the others are interested in using alchmi in an engineering app then you guys let me know and I'll keep this thread (engineering apps) in this group, else, sorry to clutter the list.Anyway, I use ProE in conjunction with dakota to perform Monte Carlo analysis on mechanisms. I utilize Pro/Program to provide programming functionality to the model. I then build a 'trail' file for proe that will (in batch mode) open a model and regenerate to the programmed parameters by reading a data file (no toolkit programming).Dakota rips off 1000 samples and I convert those to a alchemi XML task file through a _vbscript_. Send the task out to the grid for regeneration and measurements (stress, time or what ever else I'm looking for), when complete, I fetch the finished jobs back into the dakota folder for post processing.This is basically how I use any of the main engineering programs (ansys, nastran, adams.....I'm a mechanical, can you tell?). I can run more than one program by submitting a Perl file with the appropriate system calls and use the result of one call in the next, then return a final looped results. I have included a sample loop below. The AN_DRV is the Perl script I spoke about, the data .dat is created by dakota. Understanding that you have to have enough licenses to run this on a lot of machines at the same time.John----- Original Message ----

Hi John,
Thanks for the detailed response.
I will try it out and update the group also.
One thing that interested me more in your response is using Alchemi with ProE. Can you elaborate more on that?
Regards
V Anand

Anand,
I am currently using alchmei with Ansys, Adams, ProE and Dakota... among others. I have been using Condor and wanted to give the .net platform a go. Since I'm just starting with Alchmi I am spending most of my time trying to fix a delay issues with the thread return. (for some reason my threads are delayed by 300 seconds on most of my computers).
Anyway to make a short story long, I am using this software with Ansys . Give me a couple of weeks and I'll publish my work to the group.
In the mean time feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer. I'm betting you are going to ask how to get this to run with Ansys.... I'll layout the steps I take below.
1) Develop an APDL script that will read a 'data.dat' file and preform some operation with in ansys. I usually walk thought the gui with my job and then save the .lgw file.
2) Edit the .lgw file to perform some post processing and to export a data file for your use or further processing. You will have to add the job number to the end of the file name to keep it from getting overwritten on return. I just include the job number in a perl scrip argument, create a data file with the job number in it and then have this follow the job (just because I am not using .net to work with alchemi yet, I'm trying to keep from writing much software), then read this file as input into anays and tack on the job number to the end of the file.
3) Have alchemi look for the file name produced by ansys as the return file.
That's it..... I understand that is actually a lot. I'll put together a simple write-up and include the scripting functions for review by yourself and the group. Fell free to ask any questions I'll certainly try and help.
John

Subject: [Alchemi-users] Alchemi and Engineering Analysis softwaresHi,
Has anyone tried Alchemi with Engineering Analysis software like Ansys.
Please let me know.
Thanks
