Command Line Switches

AcuFieldView has several switches, or command line arguments, that control various aspects of program operation.

Command line switches are summarized in the following table:
Table 1.

-batch Run in batch mode.
-f name Run a restart when starting AcuFieldView.
-s name Run a script when starting AcuFieldView.
-fvx name Run an FVX program when starting AcuFieldView.
-python name Run a Python program when starting AcuFieldView.
-hrg display Run AcuFieldView on a remote system using hardware remote graphics, with an optional display specification.
-srg display Run AcuFieldView on a remote system using software remote graphics.
-pN DataGuide™ switches:

0: only grid file

1: both, function subset

2: both, all functions

-fc Use PLOT3D/fast mouse controls.
-create_exterior_fvbnd Generate FVBND file (must be used with -pN).
-create_wall_fvbnd Generate FVBND file (must be used with -pN).
-silent Suppress all warning pop-ups.

It is possible to use multiple command line switches when starting AcuFieldView. In the event that switches may set conflicting behavior, such as setting a remote operation switch followed by the batch switch, -hrg -batch, the last switch will be used.
