Command Line Arguments




It is possible to control basic functions of VECTO via command line arguments (e.g. to automate calculations and results analysis using scripts).

General Notes



Standard Mode

 VECTO.exe -run [-close] [file1.vecto file2.vecto ... fileN.vecto]

Runs calculation(s) either with the provided .vecto file(s) or (if no file names are defined) with the files already loaded on start up*. If -close is used then VECTO closes after calculations are done.


Batch Mode

 VECTO.exe -run -batch [-close] [file1.vecto file2.vecto ... fileN.vecto] [cycle1.vdri cycle2.vdri ... cycleN.vdri]

Switches to BATCH mode and runs with the provided .vecto and .vdri files. If no files are defined the pre-loaded files* are used. If -close is used then VECTO closes after calculations are done.


Opening files

 VECTO.exe file1.xxx

If the file has one of the following extensions it is opened with the associated editor dialog: .vecto, .vgbx, .veng, .vveh.
Note: if more than one .vecto file is provided they will be loaded in the file list (replacing the pre-loaded list*) instead.

*pre-loaded files: When VECTO starts it loads the file lists (.vecto, .vdri) of the last session, see Application Files. These files can be changes manually if VECTO is not running.
