Executing CATIA scripts in batch mode
September 26, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
50 Votes
I got the idea for this article from a reader of this blog. He sent me an email asking what would
be the best way to extract some information from thousands of drawings in an automated way.
That information in his scenario is the value of a handful of parameters that are attached to the
root drawing node in each drawing. I recommended to execute a script in batch mode that
would open each drawing one by one and read those parameter values and write the data to a
text file.
In our email exchanges, we both agreed that this seemed like a great topic to share with everyone
for a few reasons. First, this is a relatively common scenario so many people could benefit by
sharing the code that opens the drawings and writes out the parameter values. Also, I have a
feeling that many have never run a script in batch mode so this article might unlock some new
capabilities. So in this article, I will discuss the basics of running a batch and share the code we
developed and tested.
What is batch mode?
When you start up CA TIA on a typical day to do your work, you are running in interactive
mode. Interactive mode means that you see CA TIA and its user interface on the screen. Y
ou are
able to click commands, select things and interact with it. On the other hand, batch mode is a
way to start CATIA without any user interface. Obviously there are limited use cases where this
would be a good idea since CA TIA is running “behind the scenes” and you can’t see anything on
the screen. Typically, the reasons to use batch mode are to run CATIA utilities (See ToolsUtility
menu item) or to execute a script.
Why use batch mode?
So when should you consider running a script in batch mode? I think it is likely to be a good
choice over running the script in interactive mode when:
You need to do some operations on a lot of separate CA TIA files
You need to generate a lot of new data (geometry creation, product structure creation,
etc.)
You need the best possible performance (speed)
No user interaction is required for the script to do its job.
One of the key items above is that CA TIA will run considerably faster in batch mode than it does
in interactive mode. This is because when it runs in interactive mode, it constantly has to process
updates to the interactive graphical display but in batch mode none of those updates are done.
At the end of this article, I will share the performance numbers for the drawing example batch.
The last item (no user interaction required) is very important. Y
our program must be able to
make all of its own decisions without any user interactions or else the batch will not be
successful. So if you have an existing program that you would like to try as a batch you should
check very carefully for this and fix any potential issues. This might mean hard coding values or
decision logic into the program or making the program read input information from a text file or
possibly even passing arguments into the script when the batch is launched. These scenarios
won’t be covered in this article because the example code I will share does not require any user
input.
The example scenario and script
As mentioned earlier , our scenario is to open thousands of drawings and extract some parameter
values and write them to a text file. W
e want to do this as efficiently as possible since there are
thousands of files to process.
The parameters we need to access exist on the root parameters
collection of each drawing. All of the drawings will be located in a single folder on the local file
system. The program should be flexible enough so that we can easily specify a list of parameter
names whose values should be retrieved from each drawing without having to modify the code
each time the script is used.
I am not going to explain how the script works because the focus of this article is running a batch
not this specific script. However
, I did add some brief comments throughout the code to aid in
understanding what the macro is doing. T ake a little time and read through it because there are
some interesting things in it.
If you want to try the script yourself either in interactive mode or batch, simply make some
drawings that have one or more parameters in their root parameters set. Then just edit the
variables at the start of the script to specify the parameter name(s) you want to look for and the
folder where the drawing files exist.
Here is the code,

Before running a macro in batch mode
I want to point out that you should always test your script in interactive mode first before running
it in batch mode. As I mentioned earlier
, you will not see messages or receive any feedback from
the run unless your code outputs any error information to a text file or the command window
. So
for our scenario, a dozen or so files were placed in a folder and the script was run to make sure it
works properly before moving on to the batch.
How to start the batch
There are quite a few ways to start CATIA in batch mode. The CA TIA help documentation
explains five dif
ferent ways, but I recommend option #4 with the command string in a .bat file.
There are several reasons I tend to do this. The main reason is that I don’
t care much for typing
in a big long string at a command prompt. It is too easy to mistype something especially when the
command string gets very long like in this case. I also like to store the exact command line string
somewhere for next time and if you are going to do that you might as well just save it in a text file
with a .bat extension. Once you have prepared the .bat file, all you have to do is double click
the file and Windows will execute the command as if you had typed it at a command line.
Lets look at what goes into this command string for a couple of common scenarios. In each case
you need to first specify where the CA
TIA executable is located (CNext.exe). After that, you
specify options by typing dash () followed by the name of the option followed by a space then
the value for the option.
Example 1: Y
ou want to start CATIA with the default environment
CNextPath –macro –batch ScriptPath
Example 2: Y
ou want to start CATIA with a custom environment (more common)
CNextPath –direnv EnvFolderPath –env EnvName –batch –macr
o ScriptPath
CNextPath The full path to the installed location of CNext.exe
–direnv (Option) The folder path where your environment files are located
EnvFolderPath The value of the folder path where your environment files are located
–env (Option) The name of the environment to start
EnvName The name of the environment to start
–batch (Option) CATIA will be started in batch mode.
–macro (Option) CATIA will execute the requested script
ScriptPath The full path to the script you want to run
In most cases you will probably want to start CA TIA with the custom environment that is used at
your company, so you will use the second example above. Below is an example command line
string (note that you will have to customize it for your own company specific installation). Save
this string in a text file and save it with a .bat extension. T
o test it, simply double click on this .bat
file and CATIA should start with the options specified and run the script.
“C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B18\intel_a\code\bin\cnext.exe” –direnv E:\CA
TEnv –env
CATIA.V5R18.B18 macro batch “C:\T emp\BatchTest\DwgParamBatch.CA TScript”
Edit (05OCT10)
I am editing this article to add more details related to setting up the batch.
I added this section
after reading the comments below and because when I wrote the article, I didn’ t actually run the
batch. I wrote that part based on the help docs and from memory , but it has been a while since i
ran a batch so I thought I should go back and confirm everything.
You can launch a CA
TIA V5 batch by starting CNEXT
.exe directly or you can use the
CATSTART.exe process. The command line syntax is slightly dif
ferent for each method so I have
listed some examples for each below
.
Using CNEXT.exe
CD /D D:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B18\intel_a\code\bin
CNEXT.exe –direnv E:\CATEnv –env CATIA.V5R18.B18 batch macro
C:\Temp\BatchTest\DwgParamBatch.CA TScript
On the first line of the batch file, I change directory using the CD command to the
bin folder where the CATIA application files are located.
The /D option specifies that you want to change the drive as well as the directory. If
your install is not on C:\ you should add this option.
When using the CD command to change directory you do not need quotes if the path
contains spaces.
CD C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B18\intel_a\code\bin
CNEXT.exe –direnv E:\CATEnv –env CATIA.V5R18.B18 batch macro
“C:\Temp\BatchTest\Dwg Param Batch.CATScript”
In this case, the bin folder is on C:\ so I left out the /D option after the CD command
In this case, the macro path contains spaces so it must be enclosed in quotes
Using CATSTART.exe
CD C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B18\intel_a\code\bin
CATSTART.exe –direnv E:\CATEnv –env CATIA.V5R18.B18 object “batch macro
C:\Temp\BatchTest\DwgParamBatch.CA TScript”
When using the CATSTART.exe process, you should use the object option then
enclose the batch macro options and the macro path all inside quotes
It is OK if the macro path has spaces in it because it is already enclosed in quotes.
Other Considerations
If your CATIA environment is setup to work with ENOVIA and you are prompted to login when
CATIA starts in interactive mode then you should setup the batch using one of the options listed
below.
Option 1: Start the batch using the CNEXT
.exe process (not CATSTART.exe)
Option 2: If you want to use CA
TSTART.exe then you should open CA TIA in interactive
mode and go to ToolsOptions and turn of
f the login at startup option.
If you do not turn this
off, CATIA seems to always start CA
TIA in interactive mode even when the batch option
is specified.
End Edit (05OCT10)
Results and performance comparison
The above script was run on a set of drawings both in batch mode and interactive mode and
average time per drawing was calculated for both scenarios. In interactive mode, the script
averaged about 2.6 minutes per drawing. Most of this is due to the load time to open the
drawing then load it all into memory and update the display with all of that information. The
actual task we are automating (reading the parameter values) probably only takes a small fraction
of a second but it takes considerable time to load the data in interactive mode.
In batch mode, the average time was reported to be a little over 3 seconds. According to these
numbers, batch mode is about a 50X improvement. This is an incredible performance gain! I
was very surprised because I have run batches in the past but never went back and ran them
again in interactive mode to compare times. I did not do any time trials of the script in this article
myself because I don’t have a large sample of real world drawings all having the required
parameters. I am just sharing the numbers that were reported back to me.
Conclusion
In this article my goal was to expose you to running a script in batch mode. I think the basic
information I provided should be enough to setup most batch scenarios. Finally
, I hope the real
world example and the results it produced were interesting to read about and maybe you can
benefit from using a batch in the future.
* If you have some experiences with running scripts in batch mode and maybe even have some
performance comparison data you would like to share, please post a comment below
. I’d like to
hear more real world examples of the actual performance gains you saw when using batch mode.
Where to get more help
You can get more information about batch mode in the CA TIA help documentation. Just go to
the Infrastructure chapter and look for the topic called “Starting a Session on W
indows”.

Hello,
I was very interesting by this article
first reason , all your articles are always very good
second reason, I run many batch on catia data , so I was very exited about the
performance boost between interactive and batch mode (At the moment , I
have always
run batch with Catia Intercative session)
I have taken a few time to try to use your script and give you a few information about
performane (time) in both mode (Interactive / batch)
I have take a sample of 50 CA TDrawing (size 50 Mo)
1) interactive mode :
Start CATIA , Macros / Execute (select your script)
=> 5 minutes to process the data in interactive mode
2) create a text file with command line
“C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\catiav5\intel_a\code\bin\cnext.exe” direnv
o:\scm\admin\CA TEnv env CATIA5ENV macro C:\tmp\ReadParam.CA TScript
=> this start catia , process each file (similar behaviour as interactive) , also 5 minutes
3) try to run the script with batch option
“C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\catiav5\intel_a\code\bin\cnext.exe” direnv
o:\scm\admin\CA TEnv env CATIA5ENV macro batch C:\tmp\ReadParam.CA TScript
CNEXT.exe process is active for 2 second , then process is close , no error message
but I never succeed to get the .txt result file
I have try with dif
ferent option
– ./CATSTART.exe run
– with local data / data on network directory
– with quote “” without …
=> I was not able to use batch option !
About batch performances
1) When there are many lar ge data to process (load large Assembly)
Size of CATIA Process always increase , CA TIA / Document / Close , do not give back
all memory
=> for this batch , I have to add
ICountNbFileProcess and stop/start Catia avec 200 files
(I do not know how to read memory used by the Process)
2) About Drawing , in you sample case : read Draw Parameter
Performances really increase when you uncheck option : General/ Load Reference
Document”
but in this case this option can be very dangerous if any other batch are running
So this may be an idea for an other article , Manage Options/CA
TSettings with Macros

Hi Mike,
There are some issues with CA TIA running in batch mode, see links bellow
. Unfortunately
for my case I couldn’ t find an easy way to solve my problem (the only idea which came in
my mind was to create another vbscript to rerun the bat file….). Its funny its not the case
with all scripts, just those who suppose to use graphic memory (its my guess)…I’m not an
expert in programming and I would like to know if others had same problem and how did
they solve it.

By the way, I wish that CATIA help documentation to be so easy to understand like in
your articles, everything is very clear
, even for an nonnative english speaker like me.

I remembered something else when I was running a batch convert….even if I wrote in the
CATScript CATIA.Visible = False, with CA TIA running in background, it still shows me
that small window with loading visualization (in case of CA
TProducts)…if you put the
option “Do not activate default shapes on open” in CA
TProduct, of course it will give you
an “empty” file…so, my question is, can we run script really invisible (batch might be not
always enough)?

It’s my question also:
How do you change a setting in the catia option from VBa scripts? (or CA TScript in
my case)
Is there a list of settable options? if not, do you have this option in particular?

I edited this article today and added more details about how to setup the bat file and
command line options. Hopefully this clears up any issues with the batch not running
correctly.
Fernando – Sorry, but I can’t comment much on the performance issues you mentioned or
having to shut down CA TIA after processing a certain number of files.
I haven’t personally
run into these scenarios.

Hello there!
I need an help. I’m an Italian student, and I want to ask you (you are experts in these
topics) if it’
s possibile built a geometry (curve, spline, surface loft, volume…) with Catia or
other CAD sowftware, via batch mode, without any user interface and then export it in a
step, igs.. file. For example How can I do to built a macro or scripts that do a lofted
surface, and obtain step file of it, all in automatic??
Thank you
Best regards

That should work fine. Start by recording a macro of yourself creating a new part
and making the geometry you want manually . While the macro is still being
recorded, go to FileSaveAs and change the file type to the one you want and click
OK. Finally, close the part then stop the macro recording. Next, play the macro and
see if it runs right and produces the data you expect.
You might also want to add
some loops, etc. depending on your goals. Once you have the macro running
correctly, then follow the instructions in this article to set it up as a batch.
Good
luck!

Use the
