The Replace geometry command requires a configuration file. This contains the relevant information for each geometry which is being replaced. The format of this is outlined in the example below.
For each section to be replaced, include a line formatted as follows, where the delimeter is the 'hash' character
<cfg file section> # <target section name> # <CAD file> # <import units> # <Geometry material> # <mesh (y/n)> # <Min Size/Element Size> # <Max Size> # <Max Deviation> # <Max Angle>
If the meshing option "n" is used the default mesh import options will be used. If "y" is used the number of arguments after the "y" will determine the approach used. A single value with use the Size and Bias approach, four values will use the rigid body approach. See example below for more details.
NB. the cfg file section is a unique identifier for each object-this can be assigned any value provided that it is unique to any other cfg file section used in the file.
e.g.
Section1 # guide 1 # D:\Wall21.stl # m # steel # n Geometry will be imported using default mesh options
Section2 # guide 2 # D:\Wall22.stl # mm # steel # y # 10 Geometry will be imported using size and bias approach and Element size 10mm
Section3 # guide 3 # D:\Wall23.stl # mm # steel # y # 10 # 100 # 1 # 15 Geometry will be imported using Rigid Body approach and the four parameters shown
Then reference the config file from the commandline:
edem.exe --console -i td.dem --rg rgconfig.txt -R
