When a computation is ran, the following files are automatically generated (automatically means that there's no need to define a DataExtractor). The content of these files is given there.

The file perf.txt

This file contains data on computation performance.
Each line of the file is recorded with the same periodicity of the con-files. They are organised that way:

1. Time (seconds)
2. Efficiency defined as simulated time divided by the CPU-time
3. Percent CPU-time spent in the update of the Neighbor List
4. Percent CPU-time spent in force computation

The file kineticEnergy.txt

The columns are:

1. Time (seconds)
2. Total kinetic energy for translations
3. Total kinetic energy for rotations

Example of gunplot file (simulation of deposit within a box):

set term pngcairo font "Arial,16"
set output "kineticEnergy.png"
set xlabel "Time"
set ylabel "Kinetic Energy"
set logscale y
set format y "10^{%L}"

plot [][1e-15:] "kineticEnergy.txt" u 1:2 w lp pt 7 t "Translations", "" u 1:3 w lp pt 6 t "Rotations"

The file staticBalance.txt

The columns are:

1. Time (seconds)
2. Absolut value of the maximum resultant force divided by the maximum normal force
3. Absolut value of the maximum resultant force divided by the mean normal force

Example of gunplot file:

set term pngcairo font "Arial,16"
set output "staticBalance.png"
set xlabel "Time"
set ylabel "Balance criteria"
set logscale y
set format y "10^{%L}"

plot [][1e-4:] "staticBalance.txt" u 1:2 w lp pt 7 t "Fmax/fnMax", "" u 1:3 w lp pt 6 t "Fmax/fnMean"
