Interactive execution mode

You may run an analysis directly from the GUI by clicking the Run analysis button in the tool bar placed in the upper part of the main window or right-click the name of your analysis from the Model browser, and further select the Launch computation... item from the pop-up menu that displays.

The following dialog displays :

This window allows selecting which analysis you want to launch among all the existing analyses in your .DSK model file.

Close: Pressing the Close button closes the window without aborting the analysis in the event it is already running. Analysis will normally proceed until completion. The task associated with the analysis is indeed a separate task that is fully handled by the FE engine.

Run: Use the two drop down lists placed in the upper part of the dialog to select the Analysis set your analysis belongs to, and then the name of the analysis you want to run. Click the Run button on the right hand side of the window to actually launch the solver. The content of the associated .DAY file is displayed in the central part of the window at runtime.

Note

As you launch the analysis, the solver is considered as an independent process. The process appears in the Task Manager with the name of the solver executable file. You may stop the process by clicking the Kill process button or directly from the Task Manager.

Abort: Pressing this button would abort the analysis that is being run, by interrupting the task associated with the FE engine. DSS results files associated to partially run simulations may however be opened in the user interface.

Editing a .LOG file: the Edit .LOG file button allows generating and display the .LOG input file for the analysis you have selected from the drop-down lists. Pressing this button also automatically generates the .DSS file associated with the analysis. Once the .LOG file displays in the Editing window, you may modify any of the keywords by-hand and then launch the analysis by pressing the Save and launch button.

Note

once the LOG file is opened, you may access to the main chapters in the file through the drop-down list placed in the upper part of the edit window. You can also search for words or replace words by clicking the search or replace buttons.

Editing .LIS file: this button allows to open the .LIS file that was created by the solver during the calculation. More details about this type of file may be found here.

Note

once the LIS file is opened, you may access to the main chapters in the file through the drop-down list placed in the upper part of the edit window. You can also search for words or replace words by clicking the search or replace buttons. You may for example look for error in the LIS file to get information on the type of error that occurred when the solver failed to start.

Open .DSS file: this button allows to open the .DSS file corresponding to the analysis you have selected. By doing so, you are not obliged anymore to close the Launching DeepLines solver dialog and use the Open button from the menu bar to access your .DSS file.

Generate all: this button allows creating with a single click all the .LOG and .DSS files corresponding to the Set of analyses currently selected. In addition to these files, another ASCII command file is created, with the same name than the Set of analysis; This file will be named Default.cmd in case the default Set of analyses is selected. This file contains all the information required to run the analyses in batch mode. By selecting the Execute .cmd option, the batch process will be launched when pressing the Generate all button.

Tip

As your dynamic analysis is running, you may proceed as follows to properly stop the analysis (rather than simply kill the process) :

  1. Open the folder that contains the binary results databases for your analysis
  2. Open the ASCII file with the .STOP extension
  3. Put 1 instead of 0 in the first line
  4. Save and close the file

The calculations will then properly stop at the next time step with a Normal statement. This assure you to be able to post-process the analysis and to create a new one with a restart option.
