Windows Installation and Launch

The script folder (win_scripts_mk3) should be extracted to the installation folder of OpenRadioss (same level as exec, hm_cfg_files etc), the scripts work only from this directory level currently

Image Modified

The initial contents of the folder appear as below, for the windows version, python is not a pre-requisite, there is an .exe version of the gui that may be used directly without a python installation, the main gui tool is ‘openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.exe’ and can be launched from windows explorer on double click, the python code is still included for information and the .py script may still be used if python is installed (the 'openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.py’ files is the main python script)

Image Modified

Windows Desktop Shortcut (Optional)

It is possible to create shortcut Links for the exe or python tools with the form e.g.:

Target for exe:

full_path_to\win_scripts_mk3\openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.exe

Target for Python:

C:\Windows\pyw.exe “full_path_to\win_scripts_mk3\openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.py"

Start In Folder

full_path_to\win_scripts_mk3\

You may also ‘change icon’ to the one in the included icon folder
