Long name (short name)[argument types]Properties
-help (-h) create
Prints a quick help message.
-listForces (-lf) solvercreate
Lists the registered forces on the given solver node.
-watchType (-wt) typeNamecreate
Currently type name can only be "file". This flag must be used with the -cfw flag.
-output (-o) output_filecreate
When watchType is file, this flag controls where the output data is sent. By default, output is send to stdout.
-filter (-f) filter_typecreate
The filter type can be "condensed" or "raw". In "condensed" mode, forces are filtered if their value is zero. Also, in a time block, multiple forces per vertex will be averaged to a single value. Raw mode is the default filter type and displays all information without any filtering. This flag is only applicable on creation of the watch.
-createForceWatch (-cfw) force_namecreate
Adds a force watch for the current solver. The force name must exist and should be identical to the name queried using
-listForces (-lf) flag. Each force can only be watched once
per-solver. It is invalid to watch a force that has already watched.
-removeForceWatch (-rfw) force_namecreate
Removes a previously added force watch.

Examples

  
 // Create a file force watch on solidContacts that happen in 
 // the cloth scene. Dump the output to a text file. Print the 
 // output in condensed mode. 
 
	cpForces -wt "file" -o "solidContact.txt" -filter "condensed" 
           -cfw "solidContact";

 // To stop watching solidContacts forces, this will close the file
 // created above. 
  
  cpForces -rfw "solidContact";
