Running Parmec

PARMEC is a command line program. Typical usage:

1. Include parmec directory into your PATH variable.

2. Create a directory where your input/output files will be stored (e.g. mkdir test).

3. Edit your Python input file in this directory (e.g. test.py); See input commands.

4. Run PARMEC (e.g. parmec4 path/to/test/test.py, or parmec8 path/to/test/test.py).

5. Time histories can be generated during analysis using the HISTORY command;

6. Upon termination output files are created in the same directory (e.g. path/to/test/test.dump);

7. The output files can be viewed with OVITO, ParaView, or VisIt; See the OUTPUT command.
