Hi Roland,

I tried changing the basedir and recompiling ET. However, when I ran the TOV simulation, it still outputs in the old directory.

Please help, Maitraya.

Hello Maitraya,

there several directories involved. Typically (on a laptop, clusters are somewhat similar) you will find output in a directory:

/home/Maitraya/simulations/static_tov/output-0000/hydrobase-rho.x.asc

you can change the /home/Maitraya/simulations part by adding a

basedir = <SOME-DIRECTORY-PATH>

option to simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini in the section for your laptop (or cluster), eg if

simfactory/bin/sim whomai

reports "maitrayaslaptop" then you'd ad

[maitrayaslaptop] basedir = /home/Maitraya/my-simulations

fr the static_tov part you have to edit the par file (static_tov.par) and look for its out_dir setting which currently likely reads:

ioutil::out_dir = $parfile

(or similar). This causes all output to go into a directory of the same name as the parameter file (without the .par extension). You can change this to anything you like eg:

ioutil::out_dir = "stationary tov star"

if you so desire (though spaces are usually a bad idea).

There some very rudimentary documentation that you can find here:

http://simfactory.org/info/documentation/userguide/index.html

though I could not find any explanation of basedir in it unfortunately.

Yours, Roland

Dear all,

I was running the TOV simulation ( https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_

Tutorial_for_New_Users).

...

While running these two commands:

./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov --parfile=par/static_tov_small.par --procs=1 --walltime=8:0:0 ./simfactory/bin/sim show-output --follow static_tov

I noticed that the simulation is created in a particular directory.

I want to change this directory to something else. How do I change this command ?

Thanks,

Maitraya.

Dear Roland,

I fixed the problem. I just had to add [<whoami name>] to the defs.local.ini file. Earlier it just had [default].

Thanks, Maitraya.

Hello Maitraya,

sorry to hear this did not help.

You did not have to recompile since basedir is only used by the simulation factory, which makes testing this a bit faster.

I am afraid I am not sure on top of my head what could cause this.

So more questions:

• this is on you laptop? or on a cluster (which one)?
• would you mind attaching your simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini file, please?
• what does simfactory/bin/sim whoami report?
• it would be good to provide the output of simfactory/bin/sim print-mdb-entry $(simfactory/bin/sim whoami | \ awk '{print $NF}') which should output all information that simulation factory has about the machine it is running on
• please copy and past the full command line used for simfactory/bin/submit as well as its output eg:
