The EDMULT keyword is useful <strong>for</strong> resolving hydrogen burns without producing massive quantities<br />

<strong>of</strong> output at other times in the run. For example, “edtdto” maybe considerably larger than “timinc”;<br />

however, if “edmult” is, say, equal to 1.2, the edit interval during a bum will be 2 (1.2 rounded up)<br />

times the actual timestep used.<br />

14.2.9 Output Control<br />

Options to control the <strong>for</strong>matted output written to the main output file and the un<strong>for</strong>matted output<br />

written to the plot file(s) are discussed in this section. Note that the latter output can be<br />

postprocessed using the POSTCON code. (See Chapter 16.)<br />

14.2.9.1 Freauencv <strong>of</strong> Print Outt)ut. Output is written to the main output file in printer carriage<br />

control <strong>for</strong>mat. This output consists <strong>of</strong> short summary edits and long detailed edits. The frequency<br />

at which the short edits and long edits are produced in the main output file can be controlled with<br />

the SHORTEDT and LONGEDT options.<br />

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ************************************************<br />

SHORTEDT=kshort<br />

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ************************************************<br />

SHORTEDT the number <strong>of</strong> system timesteps between short edits. Cannot be O;default=<br />

= kshort 1.<br />

For example, if the system timestep is 5s and “kshort” is 4, then the short edit interval will be 20s.<br />

The short edit interval is completely independent <strong>of</strong> other output intervals.<br />

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ************************************************<br />

LONGEDT=klong<br />

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ************************************************<br />

LONGEDT the number <strong>of</strong> edit timesteps between long edits. Cannot be O;default = 1.<br />

= klong<br />

The LONGEDT option controls the frequency <strong>of</strong> the long edits in the same way that the SHORTEDT<br />

option controls the short edit frequency. Note that LONGEDT and SHORTEDT have no effect on<br />

the frequency with which in<strong>for</strong>mation is written to the plot file(s). (That frequency is governed by<br />

the basic edit timestep, which is defined by parameters such as “edtdto” discussed in Section 14.2.8<br />

and by the plot file output control options discussed in the next section.) Thus the user can limit the<br />

quantity <strong>of</strong> long or short edits but still obtain detailed plot in<strong>for</strong>mation on the plot file(s). A long edit<br />

will always occur at a “tstop” time, a restart time, an opening or closing time <strong>for</strong> a regular flow path,<br />
