Running AnyBody with a GUI

Main Forum
1

Hi,

I designed a GUI and try to run the console with it.

The code looks like this:


cd('c:\Programme\AnyBody Technology\AnyBody.4.2')
dos('AnyBodyCon.exe/d U:\Shoulder model\Diploma thesis\AMMRV1.0 - 110104\Application\Examples\StandingModel - Kopie\StandingModel.main')

I always get this error:


AnyBody Console Application 
AnyBodyCon.exe version : 4. 2. 1. 1614

        Sets current directory to 'dirname'. 
    /m <macrofile>, -m <macrofile>, --macro=<macrofile> 
        Specifies the macro file to execute to 'macrofile'.

Help? :slight_smile:

Hi

I think it could be related to the names of your folders…

please try to use folders which has no spaces in the names…

Still not running…

I created a macro which should run my main file with a inverse dynamic analysis

Macro:


load "U:\Shoulder model\Diploma thesis\AMMRV1.0\Application\Examples\StandingModelKopie\StandingModel.main"
operation Main.Study.InverseDynamics
run
exit

The AnyBodyConsole shoulb be run from Matlab

Matlab:


function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata,handles)

cd('c:\Programme\AnyBody Technology\AnyBody.4.1')
dos('AnyBodyCon.exe /m U:\Shoulder model\Diploma thesis\AMMRV1.0
\Application\Examples\control.anymcr')

When I run the mat file I get this message and nothing happens:

AnyBody Console Application 
AnyBodyCon.exe version : 4. 1. 0. 995

Where is the mistake?

Thank you,

Hi Hauke,

the problem is that you have a space in your file paths. When you supply an argument to an executable in the command line mode - it is read until the first space and will look in your case as “U:\Shoulder”. To avoid that - please use double quotes around the file path (letting the program know that this is still the same argument), like the following:
“U:\Shoulder model\Diploma thesis\AMMRV1.0 - 110104\Application\Examples\StandingModel - Kopie\StandingModel.main”

Best regards,
Pavel
