Cancel a Marc run when it is running in the background?

I started a run within the Mentat GUI and then proceeded to save the model afterwards. Now I wish to kill the run but the Mentat GUI doesn't recognise anything running. Is there an alternative to try and kill the run?

When a Marc job is running, you can find marc.exe in Windows Task Manage/Processes. Select it and click on End Process to kill the job.

Perfect, thank you very much. Also as another question, would you be able to point me in the direction of some information on running a series of batch files in Marc? I have a list of 20 loadcases that take about 1 hr each that I would like to run overnight.

All .dat files should be put in to one folder and then open a command prompt and change the directory to the one with the dat files.

Then create a batch file (for example runit.bat) and use call statements as follows:

call C:\MSC.Software\Marc\2014.0.0\marc2014\tools\run_marc -j jobname1.dat

call C:\MSC.Software\Marc\2014.0.0\marc2014\tools\run_marc -j jobname2.dat

call C:\MSC.Software\Marc\2014.0.0\marc2014\tools\run_marc -j jobname3.dat

call C:\MSC.Software\Marc\2014.0.0\marc2014\tools\run_marc -j jobname4.dat

In this example, there are four input decks. User can put any number of input decks and uses any number of commands as shown here. In this example, Marc 2014.0.0 is shown, but any version of Marc could be used as long as the correct path to the run_marc file of that version is used.

Put these commands in the batch file, save and exit from the file. Then double click the batch file and it will run one job at a time.
