If you made an error submitting the simulation when you submitted the first time, then simfactory will remember some of these choices, and will ignore some of your command line arguments. You will either have to delete the simulation, or create a completely new simulation by choosing a different name.

Can you replace the simulation name "static_tov" by something else? It does not have to be related to the parameter file name. This will create a new simulation.

Dear ETK users,

I am trying to run the ETK example as in https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Tutorial_for_New_Users

Since /scratch/ettest24/simulations could not be find I created it. Now, after submission of the script with:

$ ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov --parfile=par/static_tov.par --procs=32 --walltime=8:0:0

it gives me, for example:

$ Assigned restart id: 3   Executing submit command: qsub /scratch/ettest24/simulations/static_tov/output 0003/SIMFACTORY/SubmitScript

(I submitted it for the 3. time)

$ ./simfactory/bin/sim list-simulations gives me:

$ static_tov              [ACTIVE (FINISHED), restart 0003, job id -1]

But I can not visualize the data, if present. Because:  ~/scratch/simulations/static_tov/output-0000/static_tov (as in the tutorial) does not exist.

But it exists in my user directory:

/scratch/ettest24/simulations/static_tov

only any .asc file exists. So, I can not visualize the example (if run ...)

Few questions about the tutorial:

• Do I need a create a script for the example? Or is created automatically?
• How long should it take the example? Is it possible it is still running?
• Is ssh -Y qb.loni.org a typo? should be -X

Thank you and regards, Jose

Dear colleagues,

I am a new ETK user and am running my first example simulation as described here https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Tutorial_for_New_Users

I could not finish the example after: ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov --parfile=par/static_tov.par --procs=32 --walltime=8:0:0

with the following error message: Parameter file: /home/ettest24/Cactus/par/static_tov.par Error: could not access simulation base directory /scratch/ettest24/simulations for reading and writing Aborting Simfactory.

Probably my LONI account is not completely set, or need to copy some data in /scratch/ettest24/simulations/ which does not exist?

Would appreciate any help.

All the best, Jose
