Where can I find log-files?

For every new optimisation scenario a new folder is created inside the project folder.

Documents → Folder Name → Project Name → HxGN Emendate model -->Out-…

For every optimisation the following files can be found in this subfolder:

Geometry files for every iteration
Statistics for every iteration
Log-Files
Input Configuration File
Legacy Configuration File

Geometry Files

For every Iteration a ply-file is written for the three output geometries:

nominal_intersected_001.ply
print_smooth_001.ply

Statistics

For every iteration a csv-file (statistics_001.csv) is written.

The table includes deeper information about the FE-Analysis and design mass/volume of the iteration. Mass and volume values refer to the not intersected geometry and can differ from the final geometry.

Log-Files

For the whole optimisation three Log-files are written:

GD_Engine.log
engine.log
manifest.json

The engine.log is a very detailed log with deeper information about the optimisation process in a chronological order and is used mainly for debugging purposes.

The GD_Engine.log is a reduced version of the engine.log to collect relevant data for the user. The log includes deeper information about the optimisation process in a chronological order.

All occurring Information (INF), Warnings (WRN) and Errors (ERR) are listed and further information regarding the software version, license usage, GPU/CPU calculation, number of used GPUs, base resolution and
size of the FE-Matrix.

The manifest.json file is just a listing of all files stored in the folder.

Configuration Files

The legacy configuration file includes the information for the optimisation as they were input by the preprocessing software. The input configuration file is also included. The file entails all initial information for the optimisation and is created automatically from the inputs of the legacy configuration file.

config-00-legacy.cfg
config-10-input.cfg
