The configuration file defines all relevant parameters to start a simulation
including the geometry definition, phase properties and numerical parameters.
In the following, the contents of the config-file are explained.
Note:
Vector components need to be given in quotation marks.
All input files (.txt and .cfg)
should be in ASCII format (not UTF-8 or any other). Files of different
formats could be valid, but can also cause problems. Therefore, it is strong
best practice to always use ASCII format.
Each section of the configuration file is presented with exemplary data and the
possible contents are explained for each variable. If a parameter has a default
value it can be omitted in the configuration file and will be set internally.
Variables without default value need to be set (however, for example motion
definitions of course do not need to be set if no motion is defined).
Attention: nanoFluidX uses SI units for all of its
parameters, with the exception of rotational vector definition, which can be
specified in desired units, and phase shift angles for conrod and oscillate
motions, which are specified in degrees.
