3.2.2. Using the GetSolution Utility with CKSolnList.txt File

Please follow these instructions to run the GetSolution utility with a CKSolnList.txt file:

  1. Open a Command prompt or UNIX shell.

  2. Make sure the full path to your Ansys Chemkin bin directory is included in your PATH environment variable (see Ansys Chemkin Windows Environment or Chemkin Linux Environment).

  3. Navigate to your working directory.

  4. At the command line, type GetSolution -listonly to create a CKSolnList.txt file.

  5. Edit the CKSolnList.txt file to make user selections. See The CKSolnList.txt File for a detailed look at the syntax of CKSolnList.txt.

  6. At the command line, type (one continuous line):

    GetSolution [-help] [-nosen] [-norop] [-mass] [-all] [-p] [preference_file] [XML_zipfile] [abbreviation_file]

    The bracketed words represent optional commands. See Table 3.1: GetSolution Arguments for further details.

  7. GetSolution generates a comma-delimited text file named CKSoln.ckcsv and places it in your working directory.

If command-line arguments and the CKSolnList.txt are used together, command-line arguments will override selections made in the CKSoln.txt file.

Note:  You can also create a CKSolnList.txt with only the selections you need and run GetSolution to generate a CKSoln.ckcsv.
