13.10 Command line options of QW-Editor

It is possible to call QW-Editor from a command line with parameters. This feature is prepared for use with i.e. optimisers. QWED offers its own optimiser, QW-OptimiserPlus, integrated with QW-Simulator. However, interested users may also try to couple QuickWave with their own optimising procedures. The following options are possible:

·      -pproject_name – Starts the QW-Editor and loads the project specified by its name, project_name (full path must be specified).

·      -i – Enforces iconised operation of QW-Editor.

·      -e – Instructs the QW-Editor to export the project.

·      -q – Instructs the QW-Editor to close.

·      -m – Instructs the QW-Editor to perform the Edit-Select Object operations on the object, which has the same name as project. If this name conditions is not obeyed the modify operation will not be performed. For reasonable application, the corresponding *.udo file describing this object (or some other *.udo and *.txt files called from within this file) should be previously modified by the user/optimiser.

·      -onumber_of_iterations – Instructs the QW-Editor to further instruct the QW‑Simulator to run the analysis for a specified number of iterations. The QW‑Editor will comply by exporting modified files (modifications regarding the RunIter instead of typical Run tasks, specified format of files for saving the results).

·      -w – Instructs the QW-Editor to generate export_warning_map.txt file during exporting the project.
