Execution Command Syntax

Print a short usage summary of the command syntax to the terminal and exit.

Use the file specified by <$val> as the initialization file instead of the default set of initialization files. See Initialization Files

Do not read any initialization file. This overrides the default behavior described in Initialization Files

Read the ACIS solid model geometry or .cub file information from the file specified by <$val> prior to prompting for interactive input.

Specify that there will be no interactive input in this execution of  Cube-it. Cube-it will terminate after reading the initialization file, the geometry file, and the input_file_list.

Run Cube-it without graphics. This is generally used with the -batch option or when running Cube-it over a line terminal.

Sets the location where the Cube-it graphics system will be displayed, analogous to the -display environment variable for the X Windows system. Unix only.

Sets the <type> of graphics display driver to be used. Available drivers depend on platform, hardware, and system installation. Typical drivers include X11 and OpenGL.

Do not create a journal file for this execution of Cube-it . This option performs the same function as the Journal Off command. The default behavior is to create a new journal file for every execution of Cube-it .

Write the journal entries to <file>. The file will be overwritten if it already exists.

Only create a maximum of <$val> default journal files. Default journal files are of the form cubit#.jou where # is a number in the range 01 to 999.

Turn off the ability to delete files with the delete file '<filename>' command.

Turn off the file overwrite check flag. Files that are written may then overwrite (erase) old files with the same name with no warning. This is typically useful when re-running journal files, in order to overwrite existing output files. See the set File Overwrite Check [ON|off] command.

Restore the specified filename (or "cubit_geom") mesh and ACIS files, e.g. cubit_geom.save.g and cubit_geom.save.sat.

Do not echo commands to the console. This option performs the same function as the Echo Off command. The default behavior is to echo commands to the console.

Set to "on" the debug message flags indicated by <$val>, where <$val> is a comma-separated list of integers or ranges of integers, e.g. 1,3,8-10.

Turn {on|off} the printing of information messages from Cube-it to the console.

Turn {on|off} the printing of warning messages from Cube-it to the console.

Allows the user to specify a journal file from the command line.

Read the mesh and geometry definition data in the FASTQ file <file> and interpret the data as FASTQ commands. See T. D. Blacker, FASTQ Users Manual Version 1.2, SAND88-1326, Sandia National Laboratories, (1988). for a description of the FASTQ file format.

Input files to be read and executed by Cube-it . Files are processed in the order listed, and afterwards interactive command input can be entered (unless the -batch option is used.)

APREPRO variable-value pairs to be used in the Cube-it session. Values can be either doubles or character type (character values must be surrounded by double quotes.), Command options can also be specified using the CUBIT_OPT environment variable. (See Environment Variables .)
