Operating System Basics Basic Unix commands:

pwd - prints the name current working directory ls - lists the files in the current directory cd - change working directories. For example:

cd fluent/examples

cd .. (to go up one directory) The environment variable $TRAINPATH contains a shortcut to the

directory where training files are stored. For example:

cp $TRAINPATH/fluent5.0/tut/elbow/elbow.msh .

will copy the mesh file for the first example problem into the current working directory.

PC users will find tutorials under d:\Fluent.Inc\tut\. Save files to d:\users\fluent\.
