Detailed Description

3) Description of diagnostics files and files inside dump and image directories
Version 2 Created by Jonathan M. on 05 Feb 2013. Previous Version
*Diagnostics files: All viewable in SM*:

Detailed failure and warnings info: 0_fail.out.grmhd.0000

Detailed general information over all CPUs: 0_logfull.grmhd.out

Detailed general information per CPU: 0_log.out.grmhd.0000

Detailed step information: 0_logdtfull.grmhd.out

Detailed step information for each CPU: 0_logdt.grmhd.0000

Performance diagnostics: 0_logperf.grmhd.out

Step diagnostics: 0_logstep.grmhd.out

?ener?.out : Surface and Volume integrated conserved and other quantities for different grid regions (numbers) and different formats (gener = gammie format vs. flener =  vs. ener = normal Jon file)

probe.dat.grmhd.0000: Probe data

debug.out : time-based debug info

done.grmhd.txt : Generated when simulation finishes

coordparms.dat : coord.c output

*Dump files*

1) dump???? : Primary dump files: Inludes primitives, conservatives, and many associatied quantities like u^\mu, u_\mu, b^\mu, b_\mu, to construct most things without need for metric.

2) gdump : Grid dump: Includes metric (upper and lower), connection coefficients, transformation matrix, etc.

3) rdump--???? : Restart file that coincides with dump???? period and file numbers

4) rdump-0 and rdump-1 : Restart file dumped on step period (about every 1000 steps by default).  Code cycles between 0 and 1 to avoid destroying restart file if crash while dumping restart file itself.

5) fieldline????.bin : Binary containing enough information to plot field lines in 3D and to trace their motion in 3D.

NOTE: For full details of format for gdump and fieldline files, the files mostly used for analysis, see: ./docs/tousedata.txt in the harmgit tree.

*Image files:*

im?p?s?l????.r8 : Primitive quantities: 

im?p: ? = 0-7 : (\rho_0,u,\tilde{u}^i, B^i)

im0p?s : ?=0: log scale   ?=1: linear scale

im0p0s?l : ?=0: not limited ?=1 limited

--------------------------------------------
im?c?s?l????.r8 : Conserved quantities:

im?c: ? = 0-7 : (\rho_0 u^t, T^t_\mu, B^i)

im0c?s : ?=0: log scale   ?=1: linear scale

im0c0s?l : ?=0: not limited ?=1 limited

--------------------------------------------
im?f?s?l????.r8 : Debug flag quantities:

im?f: ? = 0-7 : Flags (see global.nondepnmenomics.h just after NUMFAILFLOORFLAGS.  For example, 0=fail to converge in inversion, 1=floor activated, 2=gamma limiter activated, 5=negative internal energy density activated)

im0f?s : ?=0: log scale   ?=1: linear scale

im0f0s?l : ?=0: not limited ?=1 limited
