CMS-Flow:Model Control:Output

CMS Flow Model Control Output Tab Version 13.2.12

Simulation Label

Change Simulation label, if desired. Users ma change the simulation if they changed time intervals or other variables into the model.

Output Times Lists

The times at which each group is output is determined by the selecting one of four user defined output time series or lists. In SMS versions 10.1 and earlier, the output time series were used. However, because the output time series can become very large for long-term simulations, the time series have been replaced by lists in which the output times are specifying a list of starting, ending and increments. This option is more compact and also makes it easier to manually change the output options in the cmcards file.

Output Datasets

Global output refers to the variables that are output on every active cell on the grid. The global output options are specified in Output tab of the CMS-Flow Model Control window. More information on the global output variables, groups and CMS-Flow cards is provided in the sections below. Change List to use for Morphology and Transport

Global output datasets are divided into groups and each group is assigned an output times, and file. A description of the various output datasets and the associated groups is provided in Global Output Datasets
