-batch-gpu|-batch-gpu-rendering|-batch|-batch-software-rendering <filename>.cse [<results
file 1>] [<results file 2> ...]
| Starts CFD-Post in batch mode,
running the session file you enter as an argument.
Options -batch-gpu and -batch-gpu-rendering
are equivalent. With either of these options, GPU rendering is used unless
compatible GPU hardware is not found, in which case all saved pictures are instead software rendered
(by the CPU).
GPU rendering uses compatible graphics hardware to produce images quickly with
no loss of quality. These options apply to all saved pictures produced by
playing the session file.
Options -batch and -batch-software-rendering
are equivalent. With either of these options, software rendering is used.
Software rendering produces images without requiring graphics hardware.
Software rendering can be slower than GPU rendering and does not
correctly render some graphics objects (that is, OpenGL shader graphics).
These options apply to all saved pictures produced by playing the session file.
Note that software rendering does not support transparent backgrounds in saved PNG images.

-gui
| Starts CFD-Post in graphical
user interface (GUI) mode (the default). |
-line
| Starts CFD-Post in line interface
(CFD-Post command line) mode. This interface will start a command
line prompt where you can type CCL commands. Typically you would create
a session file using the user interface mode, then make modifications
to that file as required. To start a CCL section, type
"e". When done typing CCL commands, type ".e"
to process the CCL. The ability to write and execute
CCL is also available in user interface mode through the Command Editor.
For details, see Overview of Command Actions. |
-remote <host>
-port <number> -viewerport <number>
| -remote specifies a
remote host to run on.
-port specifies
the port number for user interface-engine communication.
-viewerport specifies the port for the viewer.
This option also requires the host machine to be running CFD-Post with
the -server option. |
-report <template> [-name <report
name>] [-outdir <dirname>] [<results file
1>] [<results file 2> ...]
| Starts CFD-Post in batch mode, loads the
results files, then produces a report and exits. Here, <template> may be one of the following: The word "auto". If you use the word "auto"
for a template, then CFD-Post will attempt to find the most suitable
built-in template. The name of a registered template, wrapped in quotes.
Register a template by running CFD-Post in user interface mode. For
details, see Report Templates. The name of a state or session file. If you provide
a state file as a template, the results file indicated in the state
file, if there is one, will be used when no results file name is provided
on the command line.
|
-local-root <path>
| Specify the file path of the CFD-Post installation. |
-t <file>.cst
Alternative form: -state <file>.cst | Start CFD-Post and load the state file <file>.cst |
-results <file>.res
Alternative form:-res <file>.res | Start CFD-Post and load the
results file <file>.res. |
|
-monitor <file>.dir
|
Start CFD-Post and begin monitoring the solution in progress.
|
-multiconfig single|separate|last
Alternative form:-m single|separate|last | Select a multi-configuration
load option to control how you load a multi-configuration (.mres) file or a results file (.res) that contains a run history (that is, a file that was produced
from a definition file that had its initial values specified from
a results file from a previous run and saved to the results file that
you are loading). Choose: Single Case to load all configurations
of a multi-configuration run as a single case, or all of the results
history from a results file that contains a run history. In either
case, only one set of results will appear in the viewer, but you can
use the timestep selector to move between results. This option is
not fully supported. Separate Cases to load all configurations
from a multi-configuration run into separate cases. If a results file
with run history is loaded, CFD-Post loads the results from this
file and the results for any results file in its run history as separate
cases. Each result appears as a separate entry in the tree. Last Case to load only the last
configuration of a multi-configuration results file, or only the last
results from a results file that contains a run history.

-s <file>.cse
Alternative form:-session <file>.cse | Start CFD-Post and load
the session file <file>.cse |
-v
Alternative form:-verbose | Display a summary
of the currently set environment variables. |
-h
Alternative
form:-help | Display
a full list of all the possible arguments with short descriptions. |
