System Requirements

Compilation Requirements

The Tolosa software needs to be compiled. There are two reasons:

• The compilation uses optimization flags according to machine characteristics
• Some inputs are defined by user-functions which are part of the Fortran code

Required Compiler

One of these two compilers must be installed:

• GNU Fortran compiler (free software under GPL)
• INTEL Fortran compiler (commercial software)

Result File Formats

Result output files can be written in the following formats:

• Text/CSV format (.txt, .csv): Basic format for XY-plot software
• VTK format (.vtk): Kitware free format for Paraview or Visit
• Tecplot format (.plt): Proprietary format for Tecplot
• Binary format (.bin): In-house binary format for post-processing with PyTolosa
