I have a macro that works fine on my desktop in as long as you run Adams/View in interactive mode.
As far as I know, you can't launch interactive mode on the HPC. I've tried, and it just seems to die without executing any commands. Running in batch doesn't seem to be an option either as View crashes on the animation record start command.
I would expect that the creation of animations in Adams View is making use of the graphics card, and if the HPC doesn't have one, then it will not work. Hence the crash.
