CCX 2.10 - Monitoring running times

Sergio

Hi, i'm using CCX 2.10 by Kwip (thanks!), with models that takes some times to solve (lot of contacts and nolineal materials), so I'm making some tune in the input files to reduce the time to solve. Is there a way to generate a txt file with the time (hours, minuts...) at the begining and at the end of the run of CCX to have and accruate measure of the runnning time?

I though that maybe we could add some lines to the batch file that launch CCX, somebody has experience on that? This is my batch file by the moment:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
start cmd /K "C:\PROGRA~2\bConverged\CalculiX\ccx\ccx210\ccx_2.10.exe -i %1"
exit
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Regards

I have managed to record start/end time by means of

----------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
time/t >> %1.txt
start cmd /K "C:\PROGRA~2\bConverged\CalculiX\ccx\ccx210\ccx_2.10.exe -i %1"
time/t >> %1.txt
exit
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now... how could convince the cmd file to compute the diference and just give the running time? :-)
