AcuFieldView has several switches, or command line arguments, that control various aspects of program operation.
Command line switches are summarized in the following table:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| -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. |
| -size=nnnxmmm | Set the graphics window size. |
| -port port_number | Set the port number to use for client-server or parallel operation. |
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.
