ELMER CONFIGURATION MANAGER

Organisation

Configurations directory are:

• ANT50.Gl1: Antarctic configuration

In each configuration directory, you could find:

• ./: the script to setup new simulation or clone old simulation.
• REF: contains all the script, sif (...) needed to run the simulation.
• SRC: the source code on top of the elmer/ice layer needed.

Requirement

The following modules are needed to compile and run Elmer:

• elmer module
• netcdf-fortran

How to setup a new simulation

• Step 0: go in your configuration directory (ANT50.GL1 for exemple)
• Step 1: run ./setup_arch.bash your_computer (it is likely you will have to edit: REF/param_arch.bash)

usage: setup_arch.bash [COMPUTER (irene)]

• Step 2: run ./setup_simulation.bash

setup_simulation [CONFIG] [CASE]

• Step 3: go in CONFIG-CASE directory
• Step 4: update the following files (.incf, .sif, .param., run_param.bash ...)

If compilation failed for any reason, you can go in your simulation direction and finalize the compilation by hand (don't forgot to load the module)

If arch not available

To be able to run ELMER_CM with a new architecture, you need to:

• Step 1: create ../ARCH/run_arch_yourcomputer.slurm which defines the script header
• Step 2: create ../ARCH/param_arch_yourcomputer.bash which defines the arch dependent function (submit script, run elmer and load module)

How to clone an existing simulation

• Step 0: go in your target configuration directory
• Step 1: run ./clone_simulation.bash

clone_simulation [CONFIG_REF] [CASE_REF] [CONFIG] [CASE]

• Step 2: go in CONFIG-CASE directory
• Step 3: update the following files (.incf, .sif, .param., run_param.bash ...)

How to compile solver

• Step 0: go in your configuration directory
• Step 1: add your solver in the Makefile (solver.F90 in SRC/.)
• Step 2: make

How to run a simulation

• Step 0: update your run_param.bash. This file define on what segment to start and end. Length of each segment is defined in the .sif file.
• Step 1: ./prepare_elmer.bash

In case you want to extend or re-run some part of an experiemnt, adjust run_param.bash and rerun prepare_elmer.bash

How to manage elmer output

All the outputs (.vtu and .dat) are store in : $SCRATCHDIR/ELMER/$CONFIG/$CONFIG-$CASE/$CONFIG-${CASE}_S

You can easily setup a monitoring of your simulations following these instructions.
