Batch Mode In GridPro
The general meshing process in GridPro involves several steps: geometry import, block creation, surface assignment, iterative grid solving, and quality checking. All of these steps can be executed through the command line interface.
To facilitate automation, GridPro provides Python APIs that allow users to access all the GUI tools and more through the command line. These APIs enable users to script the entire workflow.
The Ggrid algorithm, which generates the grid based on the specified topology, can be initiated through the command line using various optional flags. Command line execution is versatile, allowing users to generate a new grid or resume a previously interrupted run.
GridPro includes various utility codes alongside Ggrid, which can be utilized to analyze, extract, convert, print, and weld data or grids. These utilities provide additional functionality beyond what is available in the GUI.
By combining these command line commands, users can create scripts for hands-free grid generation. In Linux, this can be achieved using a shell script, while in Windows, a batch script can be utilized. These scripts are particularly useful for automating grid generation for geometries with similar topology.
