GROUPS
GROUPS
This option can be used to read a file containing PART group definitions. If a model is read in which contains PART information then the PART groups can be used to read in and sum energies for a group of PARTS in one go.
The 1st time T/HIS finds a group file ( groupXXX.asc ) in a directory it will automatically read the file and create the PART groups.
After reading the 1st group file T/HIS will by default ignore any other group files it finds in directories when it opens a model.
This option can be changed as follows.
| Ignore | This option (the default) will make T/HIS ignore any more group files it finds |
| If T/HIS finds a group file when a new model is read in then all existing group definitions will be deleted before the new file is read | |
| Overwrite | If T/HIS finds a group file when a new model is read in then all the new group definitions will be added to the existing ones. If the new file contains a group with the same ID as an existing group then the old definition will be overwritten. |
| Increment | If T/HIS finds a group file when a new model is read in then all the new group definitions will be added to the existing ones but the group ID's will be incremented to ensure that they do not clash with existing ones. |
The default option can be changed using the preference option
this*read_group_files:
(see Format of the oa_pref File for more details)
If the option to read groups files is set and the directory contains more than one group file then T/HIS will use the newest file.
