<br>
there several directories involved. Typically (on a laptop, clusters are<br>
somewhat similar) you will find output in a directory:<br>
<br>
/home/Maitraya/simulations/<wbr>static_tov/output-0000/<wbr>hydrobase-rho.x.asc<br>
<br>
you can change the /home/Maitraya/simulations part by adding a<br>
<br>
basedir = &lt;SOME-DIRECTORY-PATH&gt;<br>
<br>
option to simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini in the section for your laptop<br>
(or cluster), eg if<br>
<br>
simfactory/bin/sim whomai<br>
<br>
reports &quot;maitrayaslaptop&quot; then you&#39;d ad<br>
<br>
[maitrayaslaptop]<br>
basedir = /home/Maitraya/my-simulations<br>
<br>
fr the static_tov part you have to edit the par file (static_tov.par)<br>
and look for its out_dir setting which currently likely reads:<br>
<br>
ioutil::out_dir = $parfile<br>
<br>
(or similar). This causes all output to go into a directory of the same<br>
name as the parameter file (without the .par extension). You can change<br>
this to anything you like eg:<br>
<br>
ioutil::out_dir = &quot;stationary tov star&quot;<br>
<br>
if you so desire (though spaces are usually a bad idea).<br>
<br>
There some very rudimentary documentation that you can find here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://simfactory.org/info/documentation/userguide/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://simfactory.org/info/<wbr>documentation/userguide/index.<wbr>html</a><br>
<br>
though I could not find any explanation of basedir in it unfortunately.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>

&gt; Dear all,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I was running the TOV simulation (<br>
&gt; <a href="https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.einsteintoolkit.<wbr>org/et-docs/Simplified_<wbr>Tutorial_for_New_Users</a>).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; While running these two commands:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov<br>
&gt; --parfile=par/static_tov_<wbr>small.par --procs=1 --walltime=8:0:0<br>
&gt;  ./simfactory/bin/sim show-output --follow static_tov<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I noticed that the simulation is created in a particular directory.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I want to change this directory to something else. How do I change<br>
&gt; this command ?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Maitraya.<br>
