Hello Juan,
your best starting point is probably the qc0-mclachlan.par test parfile in repos/einsteinanalysis/Extract/test yes.
Since that does not seem to work for you, would you mind including the full parameter file you were using as well as the full output to screen / the log files? Both stdout and stderr.
If you just see not output files then first I would check that I am expecting the correct files. Extract uses its own filenames and not the "usual" .asc files. Namely, looking at the test output they end in .ul and .tl (no idea what they contain though). Second check that you are actually asking for output, eg the test parfile has
extract::itout = 1
Best may be to run exactly the test parfile with your executable to check that you get the expected output (you can do that without mpirun or simfactory most likely, using cactus_sim qc0-mclachlan.par directly).
Yours, Roland
Dear,
my name is Juan Trenado, I am working on some eccentric BBH simulations and I want to activate the thorn Extract. I have tried putting the code in the test par files from the repo in my own par files but I couldn't get any output, I have also tried to run both tests and in both cases I had errors and the simulation did not even begin. Is there any known issue related to this thorn?
Thank you very much, Juan
