Utility Scripts

AcuSolve contains a number of command line utility scripts that can be used for pre-processing the model, post-processing the model, running the model, and for monitoring the solution as it progresses.

These scripts are shipped with the distribution and are located in the /script and /bin directories of the installation. Each script has a full help listing that can be accessed using the "-h" command line option. The list below provides a brief summary of each script. Additional details can be found in the MANIFEST .txt file that is shipped with the distribution.
