how to run a project without xml file.

Post by billa »

Hello everyone,

i have this model i am solving for Electrostatic calculations, and i can solve it accurately with GUI. However, the model has 120 bodies and 115 of them have to be assigned boundary conditions. this is proving to be a very frustrating task as i have to simulate with different materials and values assigned to each body and boundaries.
I have made a script to automatically create .sif file as per my need. however i understand reading from posts that changes made in sif do not reflect back in the xml and hence in to the GUI.

is there any way i can still run the project, perhaps without needing the xml? i just need the vtu file for visualization in paraview.

Thanks
BR,
Billa

The command line for running the solver is

ElmerSolver

it will automatically run the case file in ELMERSTART_STARTINFO file

if you want to run another sif or don't have that file it is

ElmerSolver mycase.sif
