Dear All,

How to use command line to reset the project (clear the generated intermediate data, the same function in GUI) under UBUNTU? Thank you.

Best,

I have always done this with a bash script. For example, running the command “rm *.out *.vtk *.sp” etc.

I would recommend looking for tutorials on deleting files in Linux bash if you are unfamiliar with how to do this.

If you start the mfixsolver with the -c flag it will clear all previous output files. (This works with the standard solver but not the “batch” version).

Welcome to PYMFiX

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  specify an input file (*.mfx or *.dat)
  -p, --print-flags     display the solver configuration flags
  -l LOG, --log LOG     set logging level (ERROR, WARNING, STATUS, INFO)
  -c, --clean           clean output files before starting run
  -s, --server          start HTTP server
