Command Line Execution

SimSolid can be invoked from the operating system command line.

This provides an automation path for script-based workflows. Optional parameters are provided to specify CAD input file(s) and geometry import settings. You do not need to specify the CAD file format; it will be auto-detected.

Optional Parameters

  • -f or --file <file_path>
    Note: You can use this option multiple times to import multiple files.
  • -r or --resolution <standard | enhanced | fine | custom> (Optional. Default is standard.)
  • -a or --angle <angular_deviation_in_degrees> (Optional. Default is 15.0.)
  • -c or --chord <chordal_deviation_in_mm> (Optional. Default is 0.635)
  • -m or --method <ct | parasolid> (Optional. Default is parasolid.)
