Tosca Structure.report Run

Withing this section some Tosca Structure.report related topics are discussed.

Tosca Structure.report is run automatically at the end of your optimization but you can also run it manually after optimization. Use command line parameter --report to (re)run Tosca Structure.report. 

tosca <jobname> --report

The above command runs only the Tosca Structure.report command hence an optimization job must have run prior to this call. The resulting files are generated in the subdirectory TOSCA_POST of the job directory. Each time Tosca Structure.report is called a new post-file is created (<jobname>_ report_<nnn>.par). To avoid this behaviour use overwrite (--ow):

tosca <jobname> --report --ow

in which case the post-file (<jobname>_post.par) is overwritten for each call.

Important:

Using --ow and --report together will not overwrite the jobdirectory.

Configuring Default Tosca Structure.report Run

In case no REPORT-command is defined in the input files SIMULIA Tosca Structure looks for the default REPORT-macros which are found in the installation directory <tosca> in the directory marcos

  • <tosca>/macros/report_template_bead.mac
  • <tosca>/macros/report_template_shape.mac
  • <tosca>/macros/report_template_topo.mac

For more information about macro-files, see CONFIG.
