hvtrans.exe -c<config file> <result file> <model file> -o<output file> -z[percent]
Option/<Parameter> | Description |
---|---|
-a | Translates all results to an H3D file without a configuration file. |
-ar | Saves the results only. No model information is translated. |
-c<config file> | The name of the configuration file(s). Multiples configuration files can be specified by: -c<config1>,<config2>,<configX> This allows you to specify a second file that has Linear Superposition/Envelope combinations as a separate file, in addition to the standard configuration file. |
-help or -h | Help. |
-m | Saves the model only. No results are translated. |
<model file> | Specifies the solver input deck for model information or the result file name. |
-o<output file> | The name of the H3D output file. |
<result file> | The name of the result file. |
-ns | Saves the model without exporting sets. |
-xml<FATXML file> | The name of the FATXML file to be embedded in the H3D output file. |
-xmlfile<file> | The name of the FATXML file to be created from the FATXML contents from the result file. |
-z [percent] | Enables result compression. You can specify a desired percentage for allowable error. 0.01% is the default. The standard option for file compression is used. |
Examples
hvtrans -a d3plot
or hvtrans d3plot -a |
HvTrans extracts the model and all results from the d3plot file and saves them to the file d3plot.h3d. |
hvtrans -a d3plot model.key | HvTrans extracts model information from the file model.key and the results from the d3plot file and saves the information to the file d3plot.h3d. |
hvtrans -a d3plot -o example_all_results.h3d | HvTrans extracts the model and result information from the d3plot file and saves the information to the file example_all_results.h3d. |
hvtrans -a d3plot model.key -o example_all_results.h3d -zh0 | HvTrans extracts model information from the model.key file and all results from the d3plot file and uses the highest lossless (0) compression to save the information to the file example_all_results.h3d. |
hvtrans -ar d3plot or hvtrans d3plot -ar |
HvTrans extracts the results only from the d3plot file and saves them to the file d3plot.h3d. No model information will be stored. |
