CL Basic Tutorial Step 1

Step 1: Beginning Execution

Type "Coreform Cubit" from a UNIX prompt to begin execution of Coreform Cubit. A Coreform Cubit console window will appear which tells the user which Coreform Cubit version is being run and the most recent revision date. An example of the UNIX output window is shown below. This window echoes the commands and relays information about the success or failure of attempted actions.

Some things to notice are:

• At the top of the Coreform Cubit window you will be told where the commands entered in this Coreform Cubit session will be journaled. For example: "Commands will be journaled to `Coreform Cubit01.jou' for this example.
  
• In addition to the Coreform Cubit version, the code also reports the versions of ACIS and VTK that have been compiled into Coreform Cubit.
  
• The command line prompt appears after the banner screen, and appears as "Coreform Cubit>".
  
• Commands are entered at that prompt, followed by the "Enter" key.
  
• Upon startup, a graphics window should also appear, with an axis triad in the lower left hand corner (this window will not appear if Coreform Cubit is started with the -nographics option.)
