Command line arguments
The following is a list of command-line arguments for navsetup: 
| -h | 
Prints the list of parameters and a short description and prints the version number of NaSt3DGP. | 
-s  SceneFile  | 
Reads the scene description file  SceneFile  and generates a data-file | 
-b  DataFile  | 
The name of the data-file, the default name is default.bin | 
-l  DataFile  | 
load field variables(velocity, pressure etc.) from an existing datafile.
This is useful if you want to run a calculation with previsously computed values 
  but want
to change some simulation parameters. You can create a binary file for the new calculation with the following command:
navsetup -s  SceneFileNew  -b  DataFileNew  -l  DataFile 
 
The data will be interpolated if the number of grid points changes. | 
-L  DataFiles  | 
Same as -l, but reads several data files  DataFiles .*. | 
-A  TextFiles  | 
Same as -L, but reads several text files (written by  )  TextFiles .txt.*. | 
-o  OutFile  | 
This option sets the base of the filename to  OutFile  for the options which write files. If
this option is not used,  OutFile  is set to 'default'. | 
-TC  DataFile  | 
Reads the data 
  from the data-file and writes to  Outfile .dat.
The file format is ASCII Tecplot. The data written is located at the cell centers. | 
-T  DataFile  | 
same as   but writes each field to a separate file named
 Outfile . field .dat, e.g.
 Outfile .u.dat . | 
-g  DataFile  | 
Reads the data 
  from the data-file and writes
each of it in   Outfile .u,  Outfile .v etc.
These files can be read in Matlab with the script tools/matlab/ReadNast.m. | 
-a  DataFile  | 
Same as  , but use ASCII-format(text files) which are named  OutFile .txt.*. | 
-G  DataFile  | 
Reads the data 
  from the data-file and writes
each of it in   Outfile .vtk.u,  Outfile .vtk.v etc.
The files are written in the VTK5.1 rectilinear grid format. | 
-GS DataFile  | 
same as   but uses the VTK Structured Points format and the files are named  Outfile .vtksp.* . | 
-f   | 
create a VTK file including the velocity-field   or multiple scalars 
  This option has to be
used together with  , e.g. use the command
navsetup -f   -G  DataFile  -o  Outfile 
 
to write the the velocity as a vectorfield and the pressure   to a file named
 Outfile .vtk.mix or use  
navsetup -f   -G  DataFile  -o  Outfile 
 
to write the pressure   and the first two velocity components   and  . |
