A simulation directory typically contains the following files:

• Makefile with include $(shell ap.makesim) which includes the content of deploy/scripts/sim_base.makefile
• std.conf with commands setting simulation-specific parameters
• add.conf optional file with extra parameters

The simulation is launched by make run which

• creates the root configuration file a.conf which includes files base.conf, mesh.conf, std.conf, and add.conf
• creates the base configuration base.conf copied from deploy/scripts/sim_base.conf
• creates mesh.conf describing the mesh and its partitioning
• verifies that std.conf exists
• creates an empty add.conf if it does not exist

The final configuration is the result of executing the files in the following order

• base.conf copy of deploy/scripts/sim_base.conf, created automatically
• mesh.conf mesh parameters, created automatically
• std.conf simulation-specific configuration, provided in the simulation directory
• add.conf user-defined overrides, optional file

The default values are listed in deploy/scripts/sim_base.conf.

Examples in this directory are numbered as follows:

000..099 : Clients for tools without dependencies on numerical solvers.

100..199 : Standalone programs that use numerical solvers from Aphros.

200..299 : Simulation setups for the full solver (executable ap.mfer).
