Start TMG Executive Menu

This example shows how to start TMG Executive Menu to open the MAYA HTT TMG Executive dialog box.

Set the required environment variables for the software from which you run the TMG thermal-flow solvers: Simcenter 3D or Simcenter Femap. for more information, see Environment variables.

  1. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the desired directory, for example, the directory containing the solutions.

    If the environment variables are not set globally, you can set them directly in the command prompt.

  2. Type the appropriate command for your software to launch the TMG Executive Menu application and press Enter:
    • For Simcenter 3D (Windows): $UGII_TMG_DIR/com/tmgnx.cmd ui
    • For Simcenter 3D (Linux): $UGII_TMG_DIR/com/tmgnx.com ui
    • For Simcenter Femap: $FEMAP_TMG/femap/com/tmg.cmd ui

    The MAYA HTT TMG Executive dialog box opens, which is indicated by the ui command prompt switch. You can also run the TMG Executive Menu application directly from the command prompt when you omit ui.
