Run-time Inputs
Run-time inputs are used to control the simulation setup such as the grid,
solver settings, geometry, boundary conditions etc. These <key> = <value(s)>
pairs are saved in a text file, with any file name, that is passed to the
MFIX-Exa executable at run time:
./mfix my_project.inputs
Note
Traditionally, input files have been named inputs
. However, it is
recommended that you provide a descriptive name with an extension of
.inputs
such as fluid_bed.inputs
The input text file looks something like this:
# Run settings
mfix.stop_time = 10.0 # inline comment
# Solver settings
nodal_proj.verbose = 0
nodal_proj.maxiter = 1000
where comments are denoted with a #
. If a value is not specified for a key,
the default value will be used.
The following sections contain information addressing the input keywords and
values for setting up a problem. Pay special attention to any prefixes for the
keywords such as mfix
, amr
, geometry
, nodal_proj
etc.
