TEXT(Introduction To Library
-------------------------------------------------
The PHOENICS Input-File Library contains a collection of
Q1 files which illustrate features of PHOENICS which may assist
and interest users.
Newcomers to PHOENICS are advised to load and execute cases
which they find of interest, and then to make small changes to
the input data, observing the consequent changes in the output.
The library is divided into "core" and "option" sections. The
input files of the core sections are loaded by the command
load(case number). Input files from the options can be loaded by
the same command, provided that the case number is preceded by:
B, for the Body-fitted-coordinate option,
C, for the extra Chemical reactions
N, for the extra Numerical algorithms
P, for the extra multi-Phase features
Q, for the Quality-assurance and benchmark tests
R, for the extra Radiation features
S, for the solid-stress features
T, for the extra Turbulence models
W, for the tWo-phase option,
Z, for the PLANT library
However, only the case number is needed, when the loading is
effected by the use of the SATELLITE top menu.
Some PIL sequences appear in the libraries which are not
complete Q1's. They are used as setting sequences which can be
loaded into Q1's, rather as subroutines are called in other
computer languages.
These include:
* case 20, which interprets the Q1 settings in plain English;
* case 21, which clears the screen;
* case 22, which provides a pause (case 13 does the same);
* case 30, which loads in EXPERT with some commonly suitable
settings;
* case 31, which introduces some frequently-suitable residual-
and print-out-control settings.
load(20) can be entered without preliminary; but load(21) etc
must be preceded by nowipe = t. Alternatively, a $ can be placed
to the right of the ( bracket with the same effect.
Use of the load(20) feature is especially recommended to those
persons who are not sufficiently familiar with PIL to be able
to be able to read a Q1 file fluently; and all users may find
it convenient to have the significance of a Q1 file printed
in plain English, for others to read, which is one of the
options provided.
