Submodel

*Submodel [, frequency = <frequency of the submodel simulation>]
<list of total time at which a submodel simulation is performed, separated by comma>

With this option a submodel analysis is performed. A submodel analysis is an additional simulation using the same model as the original job, importing the state of the model at the increment the submodel analysis is performed and eventually updating some state variables as defined by the user. The submodel analysis requires an input file for the submodel which has to have the same name as the input file of the simulation starting the submodel analysis plus the ending _submodel. In addition, a second numgeo program name numgeo_submodel has to be present in the calculation folder, which is used to perform the submodel process. The first line in the _submodel input file has to be:

*Restart read, step = <step number>, submodel

The _submodel input file performs the steps <step number + 1> until the maximum number of defined steps. The state variables at the end of the last step are saved and read by the main simulation which initiated the submodel analysis.

The submodel analysis is either performed with a fixed frequency [, frequency = <frequency of the submodel simulation>] or at a fixed total time, given as a list below the *Submodel statement.
