Description

The stop command creates a casename.stop file in the model directory telling FDS to gracefully terminate.

If a FDS file is passed, xFDS will create a .stop file for that specific FDS file. Otherwise, xFDS will locate all FDS files in the directory and create .stop files for them. This is especially handy when &CATF is used and the actual model is casename_cat.fds.

These two snippets are effecively the same.

/path/to/model (With xFDS)

xfds stop

/path/to/model (Without xFDS)

for f in *.fds; do touch "$f" "${f%.fds}.stop"; done
