In
any case one need 9 user defined files in
the standart directory to start TACITE computation. Firstly one define
the simulation generic name .
We use SimName as the example generic name.
These files are :
SimName : Specifies to tacite code the simulation generic name, SimName.* files, and inculdes some comment lines from user.
SimName.GEO : Describe flow device and equipements such as valves or pumps dimensions and metric caracteristics.
SimName.TOP : Define the topological survey of the flow device in term of cumulative lengh and absolute elevation.
SimName.MSH : Define the discretization of the flow device as a function of cumulative length.
SimName.PVT : Contain thermodynamic properties of the fluids.
SimName.SCE : Define the time dependant scenario.
That is the boundaries conditions and characteristics of the operations
that cause transient flow.
SimName.THE : Contain the thermal properties of the flow device like temperature and insulation.
SimName.STO : Define the results storage specifications
: Frequency and type. Set the type to ASCII to operate data structure
modification to allow post processing and visualization.
TACITE.JOB
:This file is almost a clone of the SimName
file.
One might check the compatibility between files before start a run. In
any case TACITE will return errors messages
