Tips for PPPL TRANSP Developers

Namelists are on the unix cluster in $TRINF/<TOK>/<year>/

        e.g. $TRINF/NSTX/00/103020X01TR.DAT

For TRANSP Developers: You can generate the unified physics file with trdat and then prepare the run with pretr and runtr.

For TRANSP Users:

• Copy the ufiles via trdat, then run tr_start and tr_send
  or
• use xtranspin

For trdat, to read the input ufiles from MDSplus you must specify an existing reference run.

You can either identyfy the run by its mds_id or by its DEV.YR and RUNID.

In the latter case DEV.YR and the RUNID of the reference run must be encoded in the namelist name mds_path as:

 
	PPPL@<DEV.YR>@<RUNID>
	
	e.g. PPPL@TFTR.97@12345A123
	     PPPL@NSTX.04@111370A01

either

 kmdsplus=1
 mds_server='TRANSPGRID.PPPL.GOV'
 mds_tree='TRANSP_NSTX'
 mds_shot=1113700101

or

 kmdsplus=1
 mds_server='TRANSPGRID.PPPL.GOV'
 mds_tree='TRANSP'
 mds_path='PPPL@NSTX.04@111370A01'
 mds_shot=0

To write the Ufiles from MDSplus into your current working directory, specify:

 sclreq(1)='$UFCOPY'
