HFSS15: Batchoptions File Format

An example batchoptions file is shown below:

$begin 'Config'

'Desktop/ProjectDirectory'='C:/test/projects'

'Hfss/Preferences/NumberOfProcessors'=2

'Hfss/Preferences/NumberOfProcessorsDistributed'=2

$end 'Config'

Additional notes on the file format:

• The file may contain an arbitrary number of batchoption entries, one per line.

• Leading whitespace on each line is ignored. Spaces or tabs may be used to make the file more readable.

• Option pathname:

The option pathname appears before the equal sign "=" on each line.

Each option pathname must be enclosed in single quotes.

Option pathnames are case insensitive.

• Option value:

• The option value appears after the equal sign on each line.

• Integral option values must not be enclosed in quotes.

• All other options values are treated as strings, and must be enclosed in single quotes.

• The forward slash "/" may be used as a directory separator on Windows and Linux. The back slash "" may be used as a directory separator on Windows only.

• The back slash "" is used as an escape character in the value string. That it, this character removes the special meaning of the following character.

The single quote character normally ends the value string. The back slash may be used to remove this special meaning, and include a single quote in the string.

To use a back slash as a directory separator on Windows, it must be escaped. That is, a double back slash "\" is used to denote a single directory separator.
