Usage

The VCollab installation includes a command-line tool VMoveXSubmit (VMoveXSubmit.bat on Windows / VMoveX on Linux), located in the VCollab installation folder. It can:

• Convert supported CFD files into VCollab CAx format

• Extract metadata such as mesh, part, and result details in XML format

  VMoveXSubmit.bat [arguments]   (Windows)
  vmovex -submit [arguments]     (Linux)
  

Translation for CFD files

Examples

VMoveXSubmit test-data\Converge\arg1.txt
VMoveXSubmit -i test-data\Fluent\in\FFF.cas.h5
VMoveXSubmit -i test-data\Ensight\heater.case -o test-data\Ensight\heater.cax

The above examples are used to convert cfd files to cax.

For additional details on argument files, see the section: Parameters Files.

Extracting Metadata Using VMoveXSubmit

VMoveXSubmit can generate and display metadata from native CFD files in XML format.

Syntax

VMoveXSubmit [options] <model_file>

Options:

-i/--in-file="input_file_path" : Extracts meta data from the input file.
-o/--out-file="file_name.xml" : Writes the file metadata to the file_name.xml file

Examples

The below example extracts the metadata from the cgns file in the sample folder. This information is written to the console in XML format.

VMoveXSumbit.bat -i "VMoveX/Samples/Cgns/in/heater.cgns" --meta-data

Instead of displaying it to the screen, an output file can be specified using the "-o/--out-file" option. This example generates a metadata.xml file in the provided folder with metadata from cgns files.

VMoveXSumbit.bat  --meta-data -i "VMoveX/Samples/Cgns/in/heater.cgns" -o "VMoveX/Samples/Cgns/in/metadata.xml"

To provide results file for fluent simulations the command to be used is “-r”

VMoveXSumbit.bat  --meta-data -i "VMoveX/Samples/Fluent/in/FFF.cas" -r "VMoveX/Samples/Fluent/in/FFF.dat"
