How do use or setup command for sims?

How does Nogui work and how to you render sims with it? Help would be appreciated

Hi gitch,

Are you talking about RF2013 or RF2012. They work in the same way, but in RF2013 you don't need to be worried about setting -nogui command line sentences so you have the possibility to send the scene to simulate by command line automatically. In RF2012 is necessary to do the command line sentence manually with "realflow.exe -nogui ....."

Hope it helps.

In RF2013:

- simulate from commandline:
./realflow -nogui -range 0 100 /home/gitch/scenes/test/test.flw

- simulate from commandline (launching it from the gui version):
1 activate "command line" option in the Simulate button dropdown list.
2 click simulate.
3 simulation is automatically launched in command line.

- render from commandline:
./realflow -nogui -maxwell -range 0 100 /home/gitch/scenes/test/test.flw

- render from commandline: (launching it from the gui version):
1 just click "Send to Maxwell Command Line" button

In RF2012 only the first of the four previous options was available.

So that is all you need to run the sim in command is click on it? This is the 2013 version I am talking about.Thx
And the after the sim you click off command and you can run a preview is that right?

Yes, after you activate the "Command Line" option in the "Simulate" button menu (the one in the triangle) and click on "Simulate" it will open a new terminal where the simulation will be performed.

Once the simulation ends, or you close it, you can update the timeline (Alt+U) and see the results. Then you can render it as you want.

Thanks Gus for answering my crazy questions, I was watching a video put out by you guys just a minute ago and got the same answer but did not know about the Alt+U.
