Shell Command from Excel

kar.coep · June 11, 2015, 07:08

Hi,

Shell command that I am using to open a workbench session and run a journal file is

retval = Shell("C:\Software\Eng_APPS\ANSYS Inc\v150\Framework\bin\Win64\RunWB2.exe -R Autobot_Run_DOC.py -I ", vbNormalFocus)

journal file, 'Autobot_Run_DOC.py ' is typically taken from documents folder. Can we specify other path here or change ansys's working directory?
Also this shell command opens a new workbench session. Can it run the journal file in an open workbench project?

Thanks.
