EoS Input and Output

Parent Previous Next

Here you will find an explanation of how to input, load, edit and save your EoS. 


If you need to change the EoS parameters or type of EoS, you must use the INPUT utility. In the main level of the program, only the following command are directly available to load, import, list and save your equation of state parameters



List of the commands for handling EoS in the main level.

Input

Start the input subroutine that allows you to load/save and modify the parameters of an EoS

Params

List the parameters of the EoS currently in use.

Load

Load the parameters from any previously saved EoS. Eos files can hold more than one EoS. If they do, you will be asked which one to load into the program-.

Save

Save the parameters for the EoS currently in use to an .eos file.

Import

Import EoS parameters and EoS data from files in other formats



A complete list of file extensions used by EosFit7c is here.




Param Command:



At the command-line prompt, type param and the program will output a summary of the parameters for the EoS currently in use.




Load command:




With this command you are able to restore any previously saved EoS data at any time.


At the command-line prompt, type load to load the parameters from any previously saved EoS. 


The parameters can be saved and loaded from fitting mode but they will not contain any data from the dataset.







Save command:



With this command you are able to save the EoS parameters at any time. The program will save an output file with the name of your choice and default extension (*.eos). 






At the command-line prompt, type save to save the parameters for the EoS currently in use.





The program will ask for a file name to store the EoS data that will be ready to be loaded in a second time.


The output file where the EoS data are stored will look like this. 


This is a fixed-format text file. Therefore, if you edit it with an editor, such as Windows Notepad, you must ensure that you maintain the exact format. 


It is recommended that, whenever possible, you do not edit eos files. Instead, read the file in to EosFit7c, modify the values with the input commands and then save the file.
