Single Simulation

1. Create a config file in the config directory to change the initial conditions.
2. Change the import statement (line 5) of MagLIF.py to match the name of the newly created config file.
3. Run MagLIF.py to run the simulation.
4. The result are stored under the results directory.

• simulation.py: Simulation results, each row is an iteration.
• initial.csv: Key-value pair of initial conditions.
• results.csv: Key-value pair of simulation results.

5. Run plot.py to show the plots.

Multiple Simulations: Parametric Variation

1. Create a config file in the config_params directory to change the initial conditions.
2. Change the import statement (line 9) of MagLIF_param.py to match the name of the newly created config file.
3. Run MagLIF_param.py to run simulations of all initial condition permutations.
4. The results are stored in results/params.csv.
5. Rename the results file to params_XXMA.csv, where XX is the current in MA.
6. In plot_params.py, change the I variable to match the XX from step 5.
7. Run plot_params.py to show the plots.
