Input and Output Files

ELI can be controlled not only by pressing buttons but also by reading input files. The easiest way of creating an input file is to utilize an output file. Therefore we describe how to generate and utilize both kinds of files.

Output File

To create an output file, we go to the Main Tab and specify File Type as Output. The file name is specified as in the following example: out/<model>/demo/filename. Here <model> is one of the following names: corey_quad, quad, surf, or micellar, reflecting the type of physics; demo indicates the purpose of the file, and filename is a name that can be chosen by the user. Once filename is typed, it is essential to press enter on the keyboard. ELI responds by displaying Output Filename: out//demo/filename. TO DO: conferir isso. From this point on every command executed by ELI is echoed in out/demo/filename. To finish, the user types Quit in the Main Tab. Notice that the output file exists upon pressing enter.

Input File

We now explain how to generate an input file based on the output file created in out/<model>/demo/filename, as explained in
