Executing the test case

To test the compilation, you need to execute a simple test case. Go up one level and type the following command:

$ cd trunk/ramses
$ bin/ramses1d namelist/tube1d.nml

The first part of the command is the executable we have just compiled. The second part, the only command line argument, is an input file containing the run time parameters. Several examples of such parameter files are stored in the namelist/ directory. The namelist file we have just used tube1d.nml is the Sod test, a simple shock tube simulation in 1D. For comparison, we now show the last 14 lines of the standard output:

 Mesh structure
 Level  1 has          1 grids (       1,       1,       1,)
 Level  2 has          2 grids (       2,       2,       2,)
 Level  3 has          4 grids (       4,       4,       4,)
 Level  4 has          8 grids (       8,       8,       8,)
 Level  5 has         16 grids (      16,      16,      16,)
 Level  6 has         27 grids (      27,      27,      27,)

If your execution looks similar, it means your installation was successfull. Users are encouraged to redirect the standard output into a log file. This log file contains all simulation control variables, as well as output variables, but for 1D simulations only.
