Hi,
[This may be the second time you have seen this. However, it seems that
some of my mails to nmusers are not being sent out to the list. If you
see this and you use WFN please let me know]
I have uploaded a new version of Wings for NONMEM (version 720) to
http://wfn.sourceforge.net/. Please let me know when you find bugs.
Nick
This version is for use only with NONMEM 7.2. It does not work
with NONMEM 7.1.
NONMEM 7.2 has a number of optional arguments to
the/nmfe72.bat/command e.g.
nmfe72infileoutfile[-background] [-PARAFILE=file.pnm]
[-licfile=filename] [-prsame] [-prdefault] [-prcompile] [-trskip]
[-rundir=dirname][-runpdir=dirname] [-nmexec=filename] [-xmloff]
The wfn7 commands for executing NONMEM remain simple with just one
argument (the/runname/) e.g.
nmgorunname
Optional arguments for NONMEM 7.2 should be specified in an
environment variable called ARGS7 e.g.
setARGS7=-prdefault
The –prdefaultvalue will restore the usual behavior of previous
versions of NONMEM and skip the dynamic resizing process (which
may add a substantial overhead to total runtimes). It is suggested
that this command be added at the start of the/wfn.bat/file
(see/wfn.txt/). The ARGS7 variable can be changed at any time
before running wfn7 commands that execute NONMEM
(e.g./nmgo//,nmbs,nmgosim/).
Both file (fpi) and message passing interfaces (mpi) have been
tested with wfn7. Theparafiles(wfn_fpi2.pnm, wfn_mpi2.pnm,
wfn_fpi8.pnm, wfn_mpi8.pnm) in the/%wfnhome%\run/folder may be
used as templates.
Set the ARGS7 variable to theparafilename before running NONMEM
e.g. if you have a two core computer with MPICH2 installed enter
these commands:
set ARGS7=”-parafile=wfn_mp2.pnm”
nmgotheopd
Note that the quotation marks around theparafileargument are
required. Theparafilemust be put in the same folder as the run
control stream file used by WFN. Do not use the –nmexecoption
because WFN uses that to create a NONMEM executable using
the/runname/. SeeInstallation
<http://wfn.sourceforge.net/wfninst.htm>for examples of
testingfpiandmpimethods.
Other Changes
Formatting of/nmobj/command no longer attempts to show results
when run folder does not contain a .smyfile.
/nmbs/command now allows/runnames/with %NMCTL% extension
e.g.nmbstheopd.ctl 1 1000ornmbstheopd1 1000are equivalent
Bug in/nminstall.bat/for installing updates has been fixed. The
installation destination directory is created if it does not
already exist.
