open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi

* you have to change the names of the files you are using: for instance if you fortran file is called example.f you have to change the corresponding line in the steering file such that:
FORTRAN FILE = example.f
and so on (geometry, boundary conditions files etc...)

* In the fortran file you have a subroutine which is called CONDIN that you can adapt to your case in order to introduce your initial conditions

* In the steering file, it is specified that you will use "SAINT-VENANT FV" with "FINITE VOLUME SCHEME = 2" which correscponds to second order kinetic scheme. This solver is explicit in time with a big restriction in the time step and it is available only in sequential version (no parallelisme yet). Unless, you are interested to the shock-capturing behavior, it is more convenient, at least until now, to use the following key words
EQUATIONS = SAINT-VENANT FE
This allows you to use much bigger time steps and to run in parallel.

With my kind regards
