hi guys

with which command can I tell Star-CCM+ to save and close a simulation file after doing some post processing actions?

Thanks

Simulation sim = getActiveSimulation();
sim.saveState(resolvePath(simulationname+"_VMesh.s im"));


just two snippets from a macro I have

[abdul099]

When running in batch mode, the simulation will be closed automatically when the end of the macro is reached. Therefore you need only to trigger the save on your own before the macro ends. rwryne already posted the solutution how to do that.

When running in server mode (opened the simulation via GUI or with the -server command line option), it will not be closed. Not sure if it can be done with a macro at all.

[eRzBeNgEl]

Simulation sim = getActiveSimulation();
sim.saveState(resolvePath(simulationname+"_VMesh.s im"));

Thanks, for the code, but is this one also for closing (in server mode) and not just for saving the file? As adbul099 told, i am not using the batch mode, so I have to close the star-ccm explicit by a java command.

Like abdul mentioned, those lines will not close the simulation. Is there some reason why you need the GUI and do not want to use batch mode? Unless you need the GUI open for some reason, just run the simulation in batch mode and it will close automatically. You can call the java macro directly from the run command (ie <folderpath>/starccm+ -batch <yourjavascript.java> <simulationname.sim>).

Macro RunModel.java

// STAR-CCM+ macro: start_ccm.java
package macro;

import java.util.*;

import star.common.*;
import star.base.neo.*;


public class RunModel extends StarMacro {

public void execute() {

Simulation simulation_0 =
getActiveSimulation();

simulation_0.getSimulationIterator().run(true);

simulation_0.saveState(getSimulation().getPresenta tionName()+".sim");
simulation_0.close(ServerConnection.CloseOption.Fo rceClose);

}
}

Runs, saves and forces the simulation to close.

Yes, that´s what I want, thank u!

Ok, i am having an issue again, i wanted to create a script which opens alls *.sim files in folders and subfolders, deletes mesh and solution data saves the files in the correct path in batch mode: The script is working and opening all *.sim files, btu jsut the first folder level is saved correctly without mesh and solution data. The *.sim files in the sub folders are not saved without mesh and solution data. Can u help me?

the Linux bash script:

#!/bin/bash
find -type f -iname '*.sim' | while read input; do
starccm+ -batch del_solmeshdata.java -collab -on cluster01:12 $input
done

one part of the java script is shown here:

......
MeshPipelineController meshPipelineController_0 =
simulation_0.get(MeshPipelineController.class);

meshPipelineController_0.clearGeneratedMeshes();


simulation_0.saveState(resolvePath(".\\"+(getSimul ation().getPresentationName()+".sim")));

//simulation_0.close(ServerConnection.CloseOption.Fo rceClose);

}

I figure I will resurrect an old topic to post my solution to the problem.

Bash script is made for Linux systems, but feel free to use the java macro on Windows as well.


Bash script will recursively search for .sim files, reset the solution, remove the grid and save them. Afterwords, it will search through the folders again and delete .sim~, which are linux backup files.

Bash, recursive search

#/bin/sh


# Remember "/" at the end of path example: "/home/user/Desktop/"

topfolder="/home/user/Desktop/"

PurgeJava="/oath/to/Purge.java"


# Purging of Solution and Grid, saving

for f in $(find $topfolder -name '*.sim');

do

DIR=$(dirname $f)
name=$(basename $f)

echo "Purging" $name
cd $DIR

cp $PurgeJava $DIR

starccm+ -batch Purge.java $name > /dev/null 2>&1 ;

rm Purge.java

done



# Delete ".sim~" files.
# Do not move this portion to the top, Linux autosaves ".sim~" for every ".sim" that is run #through purging percedure.

for f in $(find $topfolder -name '*.sim~');

do echo "Removing" $f

rm $f;

done
