Output Control Card Syntax (GT)

Character string (e.g., van Genuchten, porosity, m^3/s, Roe Superbee)

Integer (no alpha characters, special characters, or punctuation) (e.g., 1, 32, 195634)

Real (decimal points and exponential notation allowed) (e.g., 0, 0.0, 1.e-12, 1.E+3, 2.345)

Keyword (exact formatting required) (e.g., file, ~Solution Control Card, binary file)

Repeat for number of reference nodes

I Index, J Index, K Index, 

Choose one depending on coordinate system specified in the Grid Card.

Cylidrical Coordinate System

Reference Node Screen Output Frequency, Reference Node Output File Frequency, Output Time Units(s), Output Length Units(m), Output Degree Units(deg), Screen Significant Digits, Output File Significant Digits, Plot File Significant Digits,

All Other Coordinate Systems

Reference Node Screen Output Frequency, Reference Node Output File Frequency, Output Time Units(s), Output Length Units(m), Screen Significant Digits, Output File Significant Digits, Plot File Significant Digits,

Repeat for number of Reference Node Variables

Reference Node Variable Name, Units,

Repeat for number of plot file times

Plot File Output Time, Units(s),  

Repeat for number of Plot File Variables

Plot File Variable Name, Units,

Restart Files

By default, a restart.n file is written with every plot.n file.

If "No restart" is specified as a plot file variable, no restart files will be written at any time.

If "Final restart" is specified as a plot file variable, the only restart file written will be at the final timestep or at the termination of a simulation.

Note that a null units field must follow the No Restart or Final Restart keywords.

3D grid

For 2D and cylindrical coordinate systems, STOMP writes output in a 2D plane (an X-Z slice for cylindrical coordinate systems). For output in 3 dimensions (a plane with a unit depth or a wedge), the user can specify 3d grid as a plot file variable. This allows plotting with software packages that require the data be in 3D (such as Paraview). Note that a null units field must follow the 3d grid keyword.
