Trouble issuing Fun3d nodet command line inputs

[akolegraff]

I'm working with a symmetry grid and want to use the command "nodet_mpi --mirror_y" to analyze side slip cases. I've found some documentation under cape.pyfun.cmd, .cmdrun, and .cmdgen, but can't seem to get anything to work.

I've tried adding the following to the JSON file under RunControl and on its own:
cmd: ["mpirun", "-n", "768", "nodet_mpi", "--mirror_y"]
cmdgen: ["mpirun", "-n", "768", "nodet_mpi", "--mirror_y"]

Also tried using the RunControl.nodet command, but no luck
nodet: ["mirror_y"]

Update: was able to make it run with some modifications to the cmd.py nodet() function:

cmd.py line 102 indexes cli_nodet with a list item

 # Loop through command-line inputs
    for k in cli_nodet:
        # Get the value
        v = cli_nodet[k] #<<< Indexes with list item "k"
        # Check the type
        if v == True:
            # Just an option with no value
            cmdi.append('--'+k)

Thanks! It looks like you're running CAPE 1.0 still? No problem, but it's just an interesting data point. Unless I'm mistaken, this should work with using

"RunControl": {
    "nodet": {
        "mirror_y": true
    }
}

The code in cape/pyfun/cmd.py here is assuming that cli_nodet is a dict, but in CAPE 1.0, there's nothing actually checking that...

Let me know if this works.
