Dytran 2016 Explorer has no facility to add input options (such as ATB=).

 Attempting to use a command line method to launch Dytran results in a system .dll missing error message. Has anybody got a reliable way of running Dytran (with options) from the command line?

  • Hi John, we've updated Dytran Explorer in 2016 with a new code base so are working to add all the features in previous versions. In 2017 we added the direct input to the user subroutine location and the latest 2018 release we have added the ATB input capability.
     
    To run via the command line with older versions you need to add some environmental variables:
     
    set MP_SPIN=10000000
    set DPL_FLEXLM=True
    set DPL_NCPUS=1
    set OMP_NUM_THREADS=1
    set DMP_MAXCPUS=1
     
    (where 1 can be changed in all above to number of cores for SMP parallel for structural analysis)
     
    set PATH=c:\msc.software\dytran\2016\usr-subrtns;%PATH%
     
    (this pulls in the default dytran_usersub.dll that is used in all cases and the error above)
     
    Then the command to run should work:
     
    c:\msc.software\dytran\2016\dytranexe\dytran.exe jid=jobname, OUTPUT=jobname, ATB=atbfile
