Starting HyperMesh Batch

HyperMesh Batch is a non-graphical version of HyperMesh that can be used to run command files or Tcl scripts in batch mode. HyperMesh commands that require a graphical display are ignored. In addition, Tk commands cannot be used. HyperMesh Batch terminates when it reaches the end of the command file or Tcl script, or when it encounters the *quit command.
