Hypermesh Batch Mode

Hypermesh can be used in batch mode. Here is an example of creating a surface in batch mode. It means withouth opening hypermesh, you can still use your tcl codes.

First step you should know *writefile and *readfile for opening and saving files.

Then write your code as usual and dont forget to save.

Batch mode is useful when graphical issues takes time. Instead of wasting time on looking at Hypermesh GUI, save time with batch mode.
