The configuration file (*.cfg) defines all relevant parameters
to start a simulation including the geometry definition, phase properties, and numerical
parameters.
Config file contents:
Note: Vector components are placed in quotation marks.
All
input files (.prtl and .cfg)
should be in ASCII format (not UTF-8 or any
other). Files of different formats could be valid, but can also cause
problems. Therefore, it is recommended to always use ASCII format.
All names in the
.cfg file, and file names outside (in the case of
working folders), should be alphanumeric ASCII. The only exceptions are the .stl geometry file
names.
Each section of the configuration file is presented with exemplary data and the
possible contents are explained for each variable. If a parameter has a default
value it can be omitted in the configuration file and will be set internally.
Variables without default values need to be set. Motion definitions, for example, do
not need to be set if no motion is defined.
Attention: nanoFluidX uses SI units for all of its parameters, with the
exception of rotational vector definition, which can be specified in desired
units, and phase shift angles for conrod and oscillate motions, which are
specified in degrees.
