Can’t run STKO-generated model with RunSolver.bat – what am I missing?

Can’t run STKO-generated model with RunSolver.bat – what am I missing?

Content:
Hi everyone,
I exported a model from STKO, and it created multiple .tcl files along with a RunSolver.bat file. But when I try to run the .bat file, the command line opens and just says:

arduino
복사
편집
"D:\OpenSees3.7.1\INPUT\RunSolver.bat" "" & pause
Then nothing happens — it just pauses, and OpenSees does not start properly.
I’m not sure if I’m supposed to manually edit the .bat file or assign a main .tcl file somewhere?

Could anyone explain what the correct workflow is to execute the STKO-exported model using OpenSees?

Screenshots are attached for reference.
Thanks in advance!

If you setup the OpenSees solvers correctly in STKO (via the "Kits" command), the RunSolver.bat should just contain a line like this:
"C:\OpenSees-Solvers\openseesmp.bat" ".\main.tcl" 6 & pause
(in this example I was using OpenSeesMP with 6 processors)

And from the command line you can just call the batch file, or without the command line you can just double click it.

Maybe there is something wrong in your RunSolvers.bat
