Code Manual for CONTAIN 2.0 - Federation of American Scientists

Three units are converted in this example. First the time units are changed to minutes by the TUNTT
keyword in the control block. Also the temperature and pressure are converted by the UNITS
keyword in the TDB. Ordinarily, the conversion would be performed according to Section 16.3.1.3;
pressure would be converted from Pa to psi, and temperature would be converted from K to deg-F.
However, these default conversion factors were changed by the UNIT keywords in the control block.
These keywords effectively changed this run so that pressure is converted to ATM if the UNITS
keyword is present, and temperature is converted to deg-C.
Note that file names are reassigned in the file definition block (FDB). This provides an easy way
to keep results from different problems separate. The vector file from this example is shown in
Figure 16-7.
16.8.3 Example 3: Mixing
This example demonstrates how to use the MIX option. The temperature from the PVEC 1 file in
Figure 16-7, from Example 2, is converted to the Rankine temperature scale and then used to
compute the pressure divided by the temperature. (The PINP file used to do this is shown in Figure
16-8.) The resulting PMIX file is shown in Figure 16-9.
16.8.4 Example 4: More Complicated Table Definition Blocks
The example in Figure 16-10 shows the proper syntax for extracting a number of plot flags from the
CONTAIN binary plot file. No output files are shown.
