- hyperworks
What this skill can do
- launch a CAE app
- open a file in a CAE app
- check whether a CAE app is running
- close a CAE app
- get the current active CAE app
- get all running supported CAE apps
- detect an executable path using saved paths and predefined common install paths
- save a user-provided executable path
Constraints
- Do not scan the whole computer.
- Do not traverse all files on disk.
- Do not read the Windows registry.
- Only use:
1. saved paths in config.json 2. predefined common install paths in config.json
