Dear Enzo,

CactusTutorial.ipynb shows you how to run simulations.

For example, to run interactively, it shows that you do this:

./simfactory/bin/sim create-run helloworld \
    --parfile arrangements/CactusExamples/HelloWorld/par/HelloWorld.par

So create a simulation name, e.g. multipatch, and pass your parfile.

Hello Steve, I'm sorry to bother but I forgot one thing.

I was told that I could learn about Einstein Toolkit by running some done simulations and shifting parameters to see how the code works. I tried working with this Multipatch wave equation : https://einsteintoolkit.org/gallery/multipatch/index.html

But I do not know how to run it. I see I have a parameter file, but don't I need the ccl files as well? (the schedule, init, boundary) How do I work with these?

This would help me so much, I hope you can help me out.

Best regards,
Enzo

    Hello Steve, thanks for your thoughtful answer.

    Just for clarification, I just meant it was a black box for me as
    I'm still trying to understand the basics. :D

    So I ran all the cells once more and they didn't show anything
    different. If I could ask for a favour, could you run all the
    cells and then send me that jupyter notebook? I know the
    simulation will not run correctly on my computer but I could see
    which warnings (or lack thereof) arise when you run the code and
    maybe figure out if something is wrong with my computer, or
    anything similar.

    I would appreciate it very much, I've got to learn the Einstein
    Toolkit and I have no one here in Chile to help me, but I'll try
    my best this year!

    Thank you again, I'll wait for your answer.

    Best regards,
    Enzo

        Thank you Steve!

        My problem is: the simulation gifs of the Wave Equation and
        Heat Equation notebooks on the tutorial folder are not
        showing correctly.

        So I just clicked through the heat equation notebook. The cell
        that ends with:

        ## play animation
        from IPython.display import HTML
        HTML(anim.to_html5_video())  #playback option 1
        #HTML(anim.to_jshtml())       #playback option 2

        Played an animation for me. Initially, there is a spike at the
        center of the grid, and it evolves to become flat. (It also
        printed a deprecation warning about the "close_event"
        function, whatever that is).

        Did you click through to this cell or did you stop at the one
        before? Because the one before it just displays a still image.

        The WaveEquation also worked for me by just clicking through
        the cells in order.


        I'm trying to understand how Cactus works, so I ran every
        cell in the notebook while looking at the Terminal and seeing
        how each file is created and its contents.
        The problem comes when I finally run the simulations, which
        take a while.
        This happens in seconds for me.
        So after the running is complete, there's this section called
        "Extract data from hdf5 files".
        The files exist, as I have previously checked, but the time
        steps array is actually a [0,0] array in the heat equation,
        and a very random array in the wave equation.
        In both cases, when plotting the simulations, the solution
        does not change from the initial condition.
        Did you modify the cells from the original tutorial? Because
        this all just worked for me.

        I tried to open the data files to see if I could understand
        what was going on but I'm unable to open these kind of files,
        and Cactus being a black box leaves me helpless to see where
        the mistake is coming from.

        So I disagree that Cactus is a black box since it is open
        source and the purpose of these tutorials is to show how it
        works... but it's a very big non-black box which can be
        overwhelming.

        I think your problem is the hdf5 files, not Cactus. Hdf5 is a
        file format that Cactus uses. You can open them with commands
        like h5ls, or Python's h5py library (which the notebook
        provides some examples of usage).


        I want to work on the problems at the end of these notebooks,
        but not correctly seeing the solution makes me think there's
        something wrong since the beggining, and I have not changed
        anything else from the initial notebook.

        So I'm not 100% sure what's going on, but I suspect you've
        either not clicked far enough or you have modified the
        notebook. Please check and let me know.

        --Steve


        Has this happened to anyone before?

        I'm sorry for the long email, I'm very new to this software
        and there's so much to learn! :-)
        Thank you in advance.

        - Enzo

            Hello!
            Thank you for approving my tutorial account.

            I have a small question. I'm having a bit of trouble
            with some tutorial notebooks, in particular the Heat
            Equation and Wave Equation notebooks, where the
            simulations are not running properly. The question is,
            who can I contact to get support with this? I would not
            want to bug you if this is not your job, but I'm a
            little lost and got nobody to ask for help.

            Thank you in advance.
            Greetings!
