PRIMER: Sychronising with PRIMER

PRIMER: Sychronising with PRIMER

From D3PLOT 15.0 onwards, D3PLOT can be synchronised with PRIMER using a shared memory link. This means that a post-processing model that is open in D3PLOT can have its corresponding keyword file open in PRIMER, and information can be exchanged between the two codes. In addition graphics can be synchronised, so that the views of the model match in both codes.

By default no link takes place, but it can be opened in any of the following ways:

• A running D3PLOT session starts a new PRIMER session using the stipulated model.
• A running PRIMER session starts a new D3PLOT session using the stipulated model.
  and
• Once a link is established, in either of the modes above, further models can be opened and linked at will.

The link is symmetrical and bi-directional, with no concept of parent or child, and it can be closed at any time leaving both codes running autonomously. What you can't do at present is to link an autonomous, already running, D3PLOT or PRIMER session with another autonomous session.
