replace

Replace the currently open SILO file.

Synopsis:

replace filename

Arguments:

filename

A filename, including either absolute or relative path specifications.

Description:

The replace command opens a SILO file and associates it with the current MeshTV visualization window. All plots already displayed in that visualization window will be redrawn with data from the new file, keeping any attributes which have already been applied, such as data limits. In addition, all successive plots produced in the current visualization window will obtain data from the specified SILO file.

A SILO file is typically generated by a physics simulation application and can contain physics meshes, variables associated with those meshes, subdirectories, curves, material data, and so on.

Previously opened SILO files are closed when a replace command is issued. To open a file without closing previously opened files, use the addframe command.

Examples:

replace abc.silo

replace /usr/people/sample/abc.silo

replace ../data/abc.silo

replace ~/data/abc.silo
