Some user interaction (for example with some advanced features) with Ansys TurboGrid is
through the CFX command line. This is denoted by the "TG>"
command line prompt. At the command line prompt you can issue CFX Command Language (CCL)
actions, create CCL objects, and issue a few command-line-specific commands. For further
information on creating CCL objects, see the CCL details chapter in the reference
guide.
By default, any entry on the command line is assumed to be a CCL action, and is immediately processed by Ansys TurboGrid. The table below provides a complete list of special commands that are accepted by Ansys TurboGrid, but are not actually CCL actions. Refer to Command Actions for information on CCL actions that can be used on the command line.
Action (Abbreviation) |
Arguments |
Behavior |
---|---|---|
help (h) |
none |

getstate (s) |
<Object Name> |
Without an argument, lists all currently defined objects. With an argument, shows details of the definition of the named object. |
enterccl (e) |
none |
Enters CCL object-definition mode. Enables you to type CCL object definitions. Ctrl+e processes the object definition, Ctrl+x aborts. |
! |
<command> |
Executes a Power Syntax (Perl) command |
% |
<command> |
Executes a system command (Unix Only) |
Because a full mesh creation would require a large amount of typing, and because of
the flexibility of the CCL Power Syntax, most input will be via session files. A session
file can be specified at start-up via the -session
<filename>
option, or on the Ansys TurboGrid command line using the
readsession
command. For further information on the
readsession
command, see Read Session Files.
