Run TUFLOW From a Batch-file: Difference between revisions

An example is:<br>

<pre>start "TUFLOW" "C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2020-10-AE\TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe" -t "M01_5m_001.tcf"</pre>

===Batch mode in TUFLOW===

The use of the –b (batch) switch which suppresses the need to press the return key at the end of a simulation. This ensures that one simulation proceeds on to the next without any need for user input. This is required for running multiple simulations in series (one after the other).

An example is:<br>

<pre>start "TUFLOW" "C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2020-10-AE\TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe" -b "M01_5m_001.tcf"</pre>

===Automatically Create Folders in a TUFLOW model===

The use of the -acf (automatically create folders) switch prevents the dialog prompt from appearing when encountering non-existent folders (ie. results folders), and creates these folders automatically. If for any reason the folder can't be created, a dialog will appear. This feature was first introduced for Build 2012-05-AE and is not available for TUFLOW builds prior to this. For models simulated with Build 2013-12-AA or later, non-existent folders are now automatically created. If you would prefer to have the create folder query dialog to appear, you can specify the –qcf run time option (stands for query create folders).<br>

An example is:<br>

<pre>start "TUFLOW" "C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2020-10-AE\TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe" -nq "C:\TUFLOW\Tutorial_Wiki\TUFLOW\runs\M01_5m_001.tcf"</pre>

 

===Copy a TUFLOW model===

The following command could be used to run a model on GPU hardware using 2 devices (GPU 0 and GPU1):

<pre>TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe -b -hwgpu -pu0 -pu1 FS_Hardware_01.tcf </pre>
