1.3.1. Project Comparison Using Forte Command-line Tools

Forte may be launched in a command-line mode to perform certain tasks, such as preparing a run for execution, importing project settings from a text file, or various other tasks described in the Command-line Interface in the Ansys Forte User's Guide. One of these tools allows exporting a textual representation of the project data to a text file.

Example

forte.sh CLI -project <project_name>.ftsim -export tutorial_settings.txt 

Briefly, you can double-check your tutorial project settings by saving your project and then running the command-line utility to export the settings used in your tutorial project (<project_name>.ftsim), and then use the command a second time to export the settings in the provided final version of the tutorial. Compare them with your favorite diff tool, such as DIFFzilla. If all the parameters are in agreement, you have set up the project successfully. If there are differences, you can go back into the tutorial set-up, re-read the tutorial instructions, and change the setting of interest.
