Startup options allow HyperMesh Batch to be launched with a specific behavior or with specific settings defined.

The options are provided as command line options to the application executable or startup script.

<altair_home>/hm/bin/<platform>/hmbatch.exe -tcl /home/user/my_script.tcl

For example, on Linux:

<altair_home>/altair/scripts/hmbatch -tcl /home/user/my_script.tcl -nobg
