INPUT OF COMMANDS

 

The interface between FEMGV and the user is intended to make input as easy as possible. The user will be prompted for an input from a displayed menu and then from submenus as required to complete a command. In this way commands can be built without referencing the manual.

After a command has been executed FEMGV does not always return to the primary command input level. This is to make commonly repeated commands quicker to use. The return level for these commands is noted under the command in Chapter 2. To return to the primary level use / as described in 1.4.1

The primary level prompts are:


FGV$\gt$ in the INDEX module
FG$\gt$ in the FEMGEN module
FV$\gt$ in the FEMVIEW module

Commands may be entered from either the keyboard or by using the graphics cursor or from batch files.
