Specifying File Format

VMoveCAEBatch detects the file format of a CAE model file from its extension by default. To use a different file format instead of the format derived from the extension, command line argument --model-file-format can be used.

Example:

VMoveCAEBatch.exe --model-file-format=”nastran_bdf” sample.dat sample.cax

In the above example, the file format for sample.dat is explicitly specified as nastran_bdf.

The supported file format names are listed below,
