To help with building your Sculpt command, I would recommend selecting the Create Input File and Do not run Sculpt options in the GUI:
and then open the sculpt_parallel.i file that is generated – and then add the capture command:
$ Input file created: Mon Mar 1 07:54:43 2021
BEGIN SCULPT
nelx = 197
nely = 121
nelz = 96
xmin = -13.274500
ymin = -15.125500
zmin = -23.349500
xmax = 35.975500
ymax = 15.124500
zmax = 0.650500
laplacian_iters = 5
pillow = 1
exodus_file = sculpt_parallel.diatom_result
diatom_file = sculpt_parallel.diatom
capture = 4 <----- ADD THIS LINE (delete this comment)
END SCULPT
Then you’ll simply run sculpt with the following structure:
## Serial Execution
& 'C:\Program Files\Coreform Cubit 2020.2\bin\sculpt.exe' -i .\sculpt_parallel.i
## Parallel Execution
& 'C:\Program Files\Coreform Cubit 2020.2\bin\sculpt.exe' -j <Num Processors> -i .\sculpt_parallel.i
This will output an Exodus file (*.e) that you can load into Cubit.
