4. Sloop constants : Get an prepare inputs files

This command is described here 3. Constants

In no vortex context it allows the user to :

• Create inputs directory (FORCING)

• Create template directory (TPL)

• Copy templates files listed in croco_conf.cfg

• Link to inputs files listed in croco_conf.cfg

Note

This command has to be launched only once unless templates or inputs files have changed in croco_confg.cfg

Warning

The templates files listed in your croco_confg.cfg, must be prepared before using this command. Here are the list of templates to fill:

• croco.in.tpl

• param.h.tpl

• cppdefs.tpl

• jobcomp.tpl

An example of these templates are given in sloop/templates/cfg_croco

All variables (those to be filled in the template) are preceded by the $ symbol

What to do on Datarmor

On datarmor novortex is required and so is the config file copied in previous command sloop init.

The user need to launch this command

sloop --novortex -c croco_med.cfg constants get-novortex

Note

Don’t forget the –novortex option !

Then, your experiment directory should look like this :
