Journal Files

Journal files contain a list of all executed Coreform Cubit commands. Journal files are very helpful for iterating and scripting workflows, and allow users to write, save, edit, replay and share their work. Most Coreform Cubit users learn how to use Cubit with the GUI, then will modify their models using journal files or Python scripts.
