1. Output Directories

merge with 02-SettingUpEnvironment.adoc and rewrite pending!

Feel++ generates various files that are spread over various directories. For this tutorial, it would be beneficial to check the content of these files to familiarize yourself with Feel++.

1.1. Environment variables

Some of Feel++ behavior can be driven by environment variables such as

  • FEELPP_REPOSITORY

  • FEELPP_WORKDIR

Both variables should point to the same place. They define the root directory where the simulation results will be stored. By default they are set to $HOME/feel.

If you want to change the root directory where the results are stored, define e.g. FEELPP_REPOSITORY. For example in the docker image feel/apps:latest, it points to /feel.

For running,

docker run -it -v $HOME/feel:/feel feelpp/apps:latest

should get you this output

# Feel++ applications

This image provides the Feel++ applications in
 . advection
 . fluid mechanics
 . solid mechanics
 . fluid-structure interaction
 . thermodynamics
The testcases are in $HOME/Testcases/ and the results are in
$HOME/feel

Follow the steps described in

http://book.feelpp.org/content/Applications/Models/readme.html

to use the models.

feelpp@50381de2bd23:~$

and here is the result of echo $FEELPP_REPOSITORY in the docker image

feelpp@50381de2bd23:~$ echo $FEELPP_REPOSITORY
/feel

1.2. Results

  • Results $FEELPP_REPOSITORY/feel/<your_app_name>/np_1

1.3. Log files

Feel++ uses Google Glog.

  • Log files : $FEELPP_REPOSITORY/feel/<your_app_name>/np_1/logs

  • Mesh : $FEELPP_REPOSITORY/feel/<your_app_name>/np_1

  • Config files : $FEELPP_REPOSITORY/<your_build_folder>/doc/manual/tutorial
