The formatted data output can also be called up directly without the graphical user interface via the command line, provided a suitable batch file *.bna is available in the directory. To do this, navigate to the directory in which the calculation is to be performed. If you enter nachlauf and confirm with the Enter key, a calculation is started with the module NACHLAUF. The default batch file name is nach.bna. This file is searched for in the directory. However, a different batch file can also be specified with the nachlauf filename call (the extension ".bna" is automatically appended if required). The batch files can be created or modified manually using any editor.
Example of a batch file for the formatted data output
FORMatted data output
out_n.txt # Ausgabedatei

i6,f10.2,f10.2,f10.2
3 # Layer number (=0 -> all layers)
1 # With/without (1/0) comment line in the output file
The program ignores the characters behind the sign `#'. This space can be used for individual remarks.
