4.1. Introduction

Session files contain a record of the commands issued during a TurboGrid session. Actions that cause commands to be written to a session file include:

  • Creation of new objects and changes to existing objects committed by clicking Apply in the object editor.

  • Creation of a mesh.

  • Commands issued in the Command Editor dialog box.

  • Calculations performed in the built-in calculator.

  • Viewer manipulation performed using the icons located at the top of the viewer window. (Viewer manipulation performed using the mouse and keyboard are not recorded to a session file.)

  • Creation of new cameras and selecting a camera view.

  • All actions available from the File menu.

  • Creation of expressions and user variables.

  • Creation of chart lines and viewing charts.

Session files can be used to run TurboGrid in batch mode. For details, see Batch Mode in the TurboGrid Reference Guide.


Note:  Since the session file is a text file of CCL commands, you can write your own session files using a text editor.



Note:  Do not end your session file with the quit command.
