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
- The order in which the arguments are provided is free.
- If a file path includes space characters (e.g. "C:\VECTO
Test Files\Demo.vecto") then double quotes have to be used (as in the
picture above).
- If not the complete file path is defined (e.g.
"file1.vecto" instead of "c:\data\file1.vecto") then VECTO expects the
file in the Working
Directory.
- In the instructions below square brackets "[ ]"
indicate optional arguments.
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 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
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.
