Sharing GRIP Executables
The fourth step in GRIP program develepment is running your program. Your program consists of the previously linked executable module. You can accomplish this step, as well as the compile and link steps, interactively or in batch processing. You cannot, however, run a GRIP program in GRADE.
To run a GRIP program within a Unigraphics NX session:
Select File->Execute Open->GRIP.
You can also run a GRIP program using GRADE or the gripbatch command provided your GRIP program does not require any interactive commands.
When you execute a GRIP program, it may require an active NX part. Therefore, first retrieve an active part before executing your program.
To start the executable module previously created by linking a program:
Select File->Execute Open->GRIP.
When you choose this option, the system prompts you to enter the file specification of the GRIP program you wish to execute.
When you run a GRIP program, the system stores its directory path as the default path for starting GRIP programs. This saves you the trouble of entering the path each time you run a GRIP program.
During execution, certain run-time errors may occur. For a list of errors, see Errors.
