Running Post-Processing Requests

Interactive mode (single request)

Press the Launch post-processing button to start processing of a single set of Zones Study Request instructions in interactive mode.

Note

The interactive mode is not recommended in case processing of the Zones Study request is expected to take long. The user indeed looses control over the user interface while the process is running. You will not be able to make any change to your model or perform other tasks with the user interface until processing of the Zones Study request is complete.

Quiet mode (single request)

Press the Launch Batch button to start processing of a single set of Zones Study Request instructions in quiet mode. The user is still given control over the user interface while the process is running.

Note

This quiet mode is appropriate to run a single Zones Study request at a time (i.e. you would need to click the Launch Batch button each time you wish to run a Zones Study request).

Batch processing mode (multiple requests)

Post-processing may be run in batch mode (unattended mode) which allows further automation of multiple post-processing instructions.

  • Batch Zone Study files

    Batch processing is based on external text-based files containing all instructions related with the Zones Study request.

    Click the Generate Batch button in the Zones Study dialogue or select the Generate Batch item in the pop-up menu attached with the Zones Study request in the Model Browser. This generates a batch Zone Study file that permits processing of the Zones Study requests. Batch files are text-based files with the .TXT file extension.

    The names of the batch file is set automatically as follows:

    • Extreme Zones study case: "Model filename" + "Extreme" + "Zones Study name" + "_zs.TXT".

    • Cyclic Zones study case: "Model filename" + "Cyclic" + "Zones Study name" + "_zs.TXT".

  • Using the Batch Processing tool

The batch processing files may be dragged and dropped in the main table of the Batch Processing form. See also the Batch Processing tool topic for more details.

Note

Key advantages of using the Batch Processing tool lie in the facts that you do not need to set up external command files and that it allows multi- threaded execution of your Zones Study requests.

  • Using external CMD command filesl

The batch processing files may also be read in batch mode by the GUI to produce the set of associated results. These batch post-processing jobs can be launched with external .CMD commands files as per the other batch commands for the GUI.

An example of batch instruction file that can be used to run Zones Study post- processing requests in batch mode is presented below :

C:\PRINCIPIA\DeepLines\DeepLinesV5R0\DeepLinesGUI.exe -console Model_Extreme_ZonesStudy01_zs.txt C:\PRINCIPIA\DeepLines\DeepLinesV5R0\DeepLinesGUI.exe -console Model_Extreme_ZonesStudy02_zs.txt C:\PRINCIPIA\DeepLines\DeepLinesV5R0\DeepLinesGUI.exe -console Model_Extreme_ZonesStudy03_zs.txt C:\PRINCIPIA\DeepLines\DeepLinesV5R0\DeepLinesGUI.exe -console Model_Extreme_ZonesStudy04_zs.txt ...

Warning

The above text instruction file must be given the .CMD extension and can be given any name.
