Description
The SurfaceEvolver is an interactive program for the modelling of liquid surfaces shaped by various
forces and constraints. Basically the SurfaceEvolver minimizes the energy of triangulated surfaces
according to designated energies and constraints.
This man page mainly documents command line options and environment variables.
Environment
EVOLVERPATH
Colon-separated list of paths automatically searched for datafiles, included files, or on-line
help documentation. By default, the paths /usr/share/doc/evolver/html and
/usr/share/doc/evolver/examples are appended (in that order); this default behaviour can be
cancelled by appending at least three consecutive colons (":::") at its end.
Files
~/.evolver_history
Per user command history file.
/usr/share/doc/evolver/manual.pdf
The (complete) SurfaceEvolverManual in PDF format.
/usr/share/doc/evolver/EvolverDoc.html
The HTML version of the SurfaceEvolverManual that contains what the PDF manual has, modulo some
advanced material.
/usr/share/doc/evolver/examples/
This folder contains sample material, mainly datafiles and command-files, for the SurfaceEvolver.Name

format
Options
-a Autoconvert to named quantities when needed (default is on); use `-a-' to deactivate
autoconversion.
-d Begin with parser debugging on (equivalent to `debug' runtime command); beware of copious output.
-e Echo stdin to stdout; meant for testing piped input.
-f FILE
After loading DATAFILE, read commands from file, then command line prompt.
-i Preserve DATAFILE numbers for element id's, rather than renumbering.
-m Begin with memory debugging on (equivalent to `memdebug' runtime command); beware of copious
output.
-pN Run with N concurrent processes.
-q Convert to named quantities at start (equivalent to `convert_to_quantities' runtime command).
-w Exit immediately after any warning or error message; meant for batch runs.
-x Exit immediately after any error message; meant for batch runs.
-y Break to user prompt after any warning message.
-h Display this help, then exit.
-V Display the version and the banner, then exit.
