ccx_runner

This is a simple GUI tool for observing running CalculiX Processes.

ccx_runner next to PrePoMax

What it does

It calls CalculiX for you and captures the console output. You can then filter the output using boolean expressions (AND &, OR |). Depending on the STEP type, you can also plot the residuals graphically. It also sets the environment variables to use the number of available CPU cores.

My plan for the future is, that the runner can be used for simple preprocessing of .inp files, to allow for i.e. parameter sweeps.

Features

• Detect available cores and run the analysis using them
• Filter CCX output using keywords and operators
• Show residuals inside a plot
• Display solver status inside a table
• Parametrization of input parameters

Installation

See the releases tab to download prebuilt binaries or use

cargo install --git https://github.com/calculix/ccx_runner.git

to compile the newest version yourself. This will also make the tool available as ccx_runner in your terminal.
