Quick startΒΆ

Follow these steps to run your first simulation:

  • go to Installation and follow the instructions to install AvaFrame and the necessary com1DFA executable.

  • change into your AvaFrame directory (replace [YOURDIR] with your path from the first step):

    cd [YOURDIR]/AvaFrame/avaframe

  • run:

    python runCom1DFA.py

  • a similar output should show up:

    logUtils - INFO -  Started logging at: 03.11.2020 22:42:04
logUtils - INFO -  Also logging to: data/avaHelix/runCom1DFA.log
runCom1DFA - INFO -  MAIN SCRIPT
runCom1DFA - INFO -  Current avalanche: data/avaHelix
...

This will perform a dense flow avalanche simulation using the com1DFA module. The results are saved to data/avaParabola/Outputs/com1DFA. For a first look at the results, got to the folder reports, there you can find a markdown report of the simulations performed including some plots of the results.

To display markdown files in a nice way use a markdown viewer of your choice. Some other options are:

  • Use the Atom editor with a markdown plugin

  • If you have pandoc installed use this to convert it to pdf/html

  • Some browsers have markdown extensions you can install easily
