Output Parameters

Output Parameters#

This namelist block, called &OUTPUT_PARAMS, is used to set up the frequency and properties of data output to disk.

Variable name, syntax, default value

Fortran type

Description

noutput=1

integer

Number of specified output times. At least one output time should be given, corresponding to the end of the simulation.

foutput=1000000

integer

Frequency of additional outputs in units of coarse time steps. foutput=1 means one output at each time step. Specified outputs (see above) will not be superseded by this parameter.

tout=0.0,0.0,0.0,

real array

Value of specified output times.

aout=1.1,1.1,1.1,

real array

Value of specified output expansion factor (for cosmology runs only). aout=1.0 means “present epoch” or “zero redshift”.

delta_tout=0

real

Frequency of outputs in user time units.

delta_aout=0

real

Frequency of outputs in expansion factor (for cosmology runs only).

tend=10

real

End time of the simulation, in user time units.

aend=0

real

End time of the simulation, in expansion factor (for cosmology runs only).

walltime_hrs=-1

real

Wallclock time given in ramses job submission, used for dumping an output at the end. Default value of -1 means this is not used.

minutes_dump=1

real

Dump an output this many minutes before walltime_hrs
