verbatim

Specify the command Dakota uses to launch analysis driver(s) and filters

Specification

• Alias: None

• Arguments: None

• Default: driver/filter invocation syntax augmented with file names

Description

The typical commands that Dakota uses to launch analysis drivers are:

> analysis_driver parameters_file_name results_file_name

Dakota will automatically arrange the executables and file names.

If the analysis driver requires a different syntax, the entire command can be specified as the analysis driver and the verbatim keyword will tell Dakota to use this as the command.

Note, this will not allow the use of file_tag, because the exact command must be specified.

For additional information on invocation syntax, see the Interfaces section.

Examples

In the following example, the analysis_driver command is run without any edits from Dakota.

interface
  analysis_driver = "matlab -nodesktop -nojvm -r 'MatlabDriver_hardcoded_filenames; exit' "
    fork
      parameters_file 'params.in'
      results_file 'results.out'
      verbatim # this tells Dakota to fork the command exactly as written, instead of appending I/O filenames

The -r flag identifies the commands that will be run by matlab. The Matlab script has the parameters_file and results_file names hardcoded, so no additional arguments are required.
