Running

Running a CRANE input file follows the syntax

<path-from-intput-to-crane-opt> -i <input-file>

while in the MOOSE environment. The file crane-opt is generated upon successful compilation of CRANE, and is located alongside the MAKEFILE. For example, to want to run argon_test.i located in crane/problems/argon_microdischarge, you would enter the following command while in argon_microdischarge directory:

../../crane-opt -i argon_test.i

Each set of ../ denotes a step up through the directories. Since argon_microdischarge is within problems, which is within crane, we need two sets of ../ to be in the directory in which crane-opt is located.

To run an input file on multiple processors, one would add the following command before the path to crane-opt`:

mpiexec -np n <path-from-intput-to-crane-opt> -i <input-file>

where n is the number of processors you wish to use. For the argon_microdischarge example, you might run

mpiexec -np 4 ../../crane-opt -i argon_test.i

to run the input file using four cores.
