| = CMT Tutorial: Running a standalone component (Sedflux3D) =
| | [[Image:Alert-yellow.png | center | 50px | Out-of-date page ]] |
| This tutorial describes how the start the CSDMS Component Modeling tool, run the [[Model:Sedflux|sedflux3D model]] as a standalone component, and generate output that can be visualized with the [http://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/ VisIt] visualization tool.
| | This page is out of date. |
| | | Please see the |
| {{Alert Box|message=Before beginning, you will need to have:
| | [[PyMT]] |
| * Set up an account on the [[HPCC_account_requirements | CSDMS cluster]], and
| | page for information on the Python Modeling Toolkit, |
| * Downloaded the lastest version of the [[CMT_download|CMT client application]]
| | the successor to CMT. |
| }}
| |
| | |
| The basic steps to run Sedflux3D through CMT are:
| |
| * [[CMT_Tutorial_Sedflux3D#Open|Open]] the sedflux project
| |
| * [[CMT_Tutorial_Sedflux3D#Instantiate|Instantiate]] Sedflux3D
| |
| * [[CMT_Tutorial_Sedflux3D#Configure|Configure]] Sedflux3D
| |
| * [[CMT_Tutorial_Sedflux3D#Run|Run]] Sedflux3D
| |
| | |
| == Open ==
| |
| The project for this tutorial is called sedflux, and is in the Marine group.
| |
| * '''Start''' the CMT client and log in using your username and password for the CSDMS cluster
| |
| * Under the '''File''' menu select '''Open Project'''.
| |
| | |
| This will open an new window with two drop-down lists that allows you to choose the project group and the specific project you want to work with.
| |
| * From the first drop-down list, select '''Marine'''
| |
| * From the second drop-down list, select '''sedflux'''
| |
| * Click '''Done'''
| |
| This opens the sedflux project and loads all of the available components into the Palette.
| |
| | |
| <div id="CMT_DOC">
| |
| == Instantiate ==
| |
| For the case of the sedflux project, there two components you can use: Sedflux2D, and Sedflux3D. Note that these components can not be coupled to one another but rather only run in standalone model. To run the Sedflux3D model as a standalone component, it will act as its own driver.
| |
| * Drag the Sedflux3D component into the '''Driver panel'''
| |
| | |
| The component now appears within the arena and is ready to be configured and then run.
| |
| | |
| == Configure ==
| |
| Before running the component, we need to configure it to run in standalone mode.
| |
| * Click the component's '''Configure''' button
| |
| * Choose the '''Ports''' tab
| |
| * For the Water discharge port, choose '''OFF''' from the drop-down list
| |
| * For the Erosion port, choose '''OFF''' from the drop-down list
| |
| * Click '''OK'''
| |
| This tell the component not to expect any data from that port. | |
| | |
| The above configuration for running Sedflux3D as a standalone component is mandatory. The following are examples of further configurations you may want to do before running the component. First, let's choose some output to write.
| |
| * Click the component's '''Configure''' button
| |
| * Choose the '''Output Grids''' tab
| |
| * Set the '''Output directory''' to the path where you want this output written. The default is probably ok.
| |
| * Choose an appropriate '''Interval between output files''' (in simulation years). For this tutorial, type '''20'''.
| |
| * To write elevation data, for the '''SeaFloorElevation files''' deselect OFF and choose '''<site>_<case>_SeaFloorElevation'''
| |
| * Click '''OK'''
| |
| This will write elevation output every 20 years to a file whose prefix is <site>_<case>_SeaFloorElevation (<site> and <case> will be replaced with the site and case prefix from the '''Input Files and Directories''' tab)
| |
| | |
| == Run ==
| |
| If you don't expect the simulation to take a long time to run, it is easiest to run the model with the currently allocated resources.
| |
| * Click '''Run'''
| |
| | |
| '''Advanced''': If the simulation may take a long time to run or you want to close the CMT client, you can submit the simulation to the cluster to be run in the background.
| |
| * Right click '''Run'''
| |
| * Choose '''Submit Job'''
| |
| * Adjust the setting as needed (the defaults are probably ok) and click '''Submit'''.
