Launching Fluent in Pre/Post Only-mode

[antonpersson-ba]

Hi, is it possible to launch Fluent via PyFluent in Pre/Post Only-mode if you intend to just do post processing, thus avoiding the need to check out a solver license? This is available in the Fluent GUI launcher under general options.

@antonpersson-ba you can inject any arguments into launch_fluent via the additional_arguments argument: https://fluent.docs.pyansys.com/release/0.13/user_guide/launching_ansys_fluent.html.

You should be able to find the equivalent page in current the user guide(?)

Those links display the general functions of the launcher command line yes. But there is nothing specific about an way to open a prepost. and additionnal_arguments = "-pp" doesn't work
