List Cubit Environment

The user may list information about the current CUBIT environment such as message output settings, memory usage, and graphics settings.

Message Output Settings

There are several major categories of CUBIT messages.

Info (Information) messages tell the user about normal events, such as the id of a newly created body, or the completion of a meshing algorithm.
Warning messages signal unusual events that are potential problems.
Error messages signal either user error, such as syntax errors, or the failure of some operation, such as the failure to mesh a surface.
Echo messages tell the user what was journaled.
Debug messages tell developers about algorithm progress. There are many types of Debug messages, each one concentrating on a different aspect of CUBIT.

By default, Info, Warning, Error, and Echo messages are printed, and Debug messages are not printed. Information, Warning, Debug, and Echo message printing can be turned on or off (or toggled) with a set command; error messages are always printed. Debugging output can also be redirected to a file. Current message printing settings can be listed.

List {Echo|Info|Errors|Warning|Debug}

Set Echo [On|Off]

Set {Info|Warning} [On|Off] [logging]

[Set] Debug <index> [On|Off]

[Set] Debug <index> File <'filename'>

[Set] Debug <index> Terminal

Message flags can also be set using command line options:

-warning {on|off}

-information {on|off}

Debug flags can be enabled from the command line with

-debug <setting>

where <setting> is a comma-separated list of integers or ranges of integers denoting which flags to turn on. E.g., to set debug flags 1, 3, and 8 to 10 on, the syntax is -debug 1,3,8-10.

Logging Output to a File

Output from CUBIT can be redirected to a log file, and the current state of logging can be listed.

[Set] Logging {Off|On File <'filename'> [Resume]}

List Logging

If logging is enabled, by default any output to the console or command window will also go into the logging file. The resume option will append to the logfile, if it exists, instead of emptying the file. If the logfile doesn't already exist, it will be created.

Output of information and warning messages to the logging file can be controlled independent of console output settings by adding the logging option to the set {info|warning} [on|off] logging command.

Default Block Creation

Set Default Block {ON|off|Volume|Surface|Curve]}

List Default Block

The set Default Block command will toggle whether or not default blocks are written during the export operation if no other blocks have been specified. The List Default Block command lists the geometric entity types for which blocks will automatically be generated at export.

Journaling Settings

List Journal

The List Journal command lists which types of CUBIT commands will be journaled and the file to which the journaled commands are being written.

Exodus Export Title

List Title

Title "<title_string>"

The List Title command will list the title to be written to an Exodus file on export. To assign a title to an Exodus file, use the Title command.

Listing Current Settings

List Settings

The List Settings command lists the value of all the message flags, journal file and echo settings, as well as additional information. The first section lists a short description of each debug flag and its current setting. Other message settings are listed next, followed by some flags affecting algorithm behavior.

Sample output

CUBIT> list settings
Debug Flag Settings (flag number, setting, output to, description):
 1  OFF  terminal           Debug Graphics toggle for some debug options.
 2  OFF  terminal           Whisker weaving information
 3  OFF  terminal           Timing information for 3D Meshing routines.
 4  OFF  terminal           Graphics Debugging (DrawingTool)
 5  OFF  terminal           FastQ debugging
 6  OFF  terminal           Submapping graphics debugging
 7  OFF  terminal           Knife progress whisker weaving information
 8  OFF  terminal           Mapping Face debug / Linear Programming debug
 9  OFF  terminal           Paver Debugging

name replacement character = '_', suffix character = '@'
Matching Intervals is fast, TRUE;
multiple curves will be fixed per iteration.
Note in rare cases 'slow', FALSE, may produce better meshes.
Match Intervals rounding is FALSE;
intervals will be rounded towards the user-specified intervals.

Graphical Display Information

List View

List view prints the current graphics view and mode parameters; See Graphics Window .

Memory Usage Information

Users are encouraged to use Unix commands such as `top' to check total CUBIT memory use. Developers may check internal memory usage with the following command:

List Memory [`<object type>']

Without an object type, the command prints memory use for all types of objects.
