Dear all,

I run the tutorial and found other interesting examples like the
McLachlan tool for Binary Black Holes.

Regarding the McLachlan tool,
Could somebody help me finding a description of the output? Is all
contained in the .asc files? I would like to visualize it.

Hi Jose,

What sort of output do you want to visualise?  Cactus thorns typically output "lightweight" information such as BH trajectories and waveforms as ASCII, and more heavyweight data -- like gridfunctions -- as HDF5.  For the trajectories (from thorn Puncture Tracker) and waveforms (from Multipole) you can use gnuplot or anything that can read standard ASCII output to visualise them.  For gridfunctions in HDF5 format, I think the easiest way to get started is to use VisIt, for which there is a Carpet plugin (though installing VisIt is sometimes not so easy!).

Does anyone know if the Carpet plugin is distributed with VisIt yet?  I believe that was the intention.



Cheers,
Jose

Thanks to Erik for advise. ETK example simulation run successfully.

Right, it looks good now:

./simfactory/bin/sim list-simulations
  static_tov              [ACTIVE (RUNNING), restart 0000, job id 595490]

Let see how it looks when it finishes. The example was set to 8 hours.

Thanks,
Jose

The only thing is that now
$ ./simfactory/bin/sim list-simulations
returns

Error: unknown command list-simulation
Aborting Simfactory.

Did you really type "list-simulations", and the error message says
"list-simulation" (without the final "s")?
