Running iPIC3D

To run iPIC3D, first enter the build directory where iPIC3D binary is located. Ensure the folders specified in SaveDirName and RestartDirName are careated before starting the program.

$ cd build
$ mkdir data
            

Start the simulation with mpirun with any required MPI parameters, and specify the inputfile.

$ mpirun -n 1 ./iPIC3D ../inputfiles/testGEM2Dsmall.inp
            

The number of processes can be adjusted by change XLEN, YLEN, and ZLEN in the inputfile. They must be divisible by nxc, nyc, and nzc.
