Title: Start ADONIS script using cmd using e.g. Python
Post by: MaxHu on March 29, 2017, 09:41:33 pm

Dear team of developers,
is it possible to start an ADONIS script from "outside" using e.g. cmd from Python? Is it possible to have a format like in word for executing a script like ADONIS.exe <filepath_ADONIS-Sheet-Pile.ajs>?
This would help a lot to employ ADONIS in the other frameworks like e.g. Python to perform inverse analysis, data assimiliation,... etc.
Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Max

@Max: this is working for me

Code: (python) [Select]

import time
import subprocess
from pywinauto import Application
from pywinauto.timings import wait_until_passes
from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys

ADONIS_PATH = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Geowizard\ADONIS\exe32\ADONIS.exe"
SCRIPT_FILE = r"pile_sheet.ajs"   # <-- your script file

# ---------------------------------------------------------
# 1. Start application
# ---------------------------------------------------------
proc = subprocess.Popen([ADONIS_PATH])

# Connect to the app
app = Application(backend="uia").connect(process=proc.pid)

# Wait for main window
main = app.top_window()
main.wait("visible enabled ready", timeout=2)

print("Application started")

# ---------------------------------------------------------
# 2. Open File -> Load Script
# ---------------------------------------------------------
send_keys("%F")      # Alt+F
send_keys("{DOWN 6}")
send_keys("{ENTER}")
# main.menu_select("File->Load Script")

print("Load Script dialog opened")

# ---------------------------------------------------------
# 3. Enter filename into field
# ---------------------------------------------------------
# Wait for dialog to appear
dlg = app.top_window()
dlg.wait("visible enabled ready", timeout=1)

# Try common filename field names
try:
    # dlg.Edit.set_edit_text(SCRIPT_FILE)
    send_keys(SCRIPT_FILE, with_spaces=True)
    send_keys("%F")      # Alt+F
except Exception:
    proc.kill()
    print("Application killed")

print("Filename entered")

# ---------------------------------------------------------
# 5. Wait for application to finish
# ---------------------------------------------------------
# Wait until CPU usage becomes low
# (good for long processing operations)

app.wait_cpu_usage_lower(threshold=5, timeout=600)

print("Processing finished")

# Optional additional wait
time.sleep(1)

# ---------------------------------------------------------
# 6. Quit application
# ---------------------------------------------------------
main = app.top_window()

try:
    main.menu_select("File->Exit")
    send_keys("{ENTER 2}")
    # Quitting currently not correctly working
except Exception:
    proc.kill()
    print("Application killed")

print("Application closed")
