Name

h3dValidate.exe

Location

HW installation at <hw_root>/io/result_reader/bin/<platform>/h3dValidate.exe

Description

Prints a validation report of a specified file. The High Level validation means that only first level entity validation is done (referenced entity IDs are not validated). For example, an FE element must reference nodes - therefore high level validation will only check the element ID and ID pool assignment, but not if the referenced node IDs are valid.

Example

h3dValidate [option] [input H3D filename]

option: -error, determines the messages based on their severity level

(default)    Displays all error and warning messages
-error       Suppress warning messages

input H3D filename: (required argument) 

All output streams to stdout.
