Closed abukowski21 closed 3 weeks ago

Original Pull Request appears on aaronjridley/GITM as PR # 17. The changes proposed there have been modified slightly here (and tested) to ensure standalone GITM still functions as expected.

From the original PR:

This PR makes a number of updates to GITM to allow for successful integration into the SWMF and full 2-way coupling with the IE module. Specifically,

Big changes:

  • The UA wrapper has been re-written to work properly with the SWMF.
  • Added new pGITM.py script for easier automation of GITM postprocessing.
  • Updates to Makefiles to change behavior during install (e.g., moving GITM share and util to component_share to avoid conflicts.)
  • All of the above changes can be tested from the SWMF using make test3, which will be brought into the nightlies upon acceptance of this PR.

Changes from original PR:

Was this tested?

Yes. Extensively. Outputs from standalone GITM runs are unchanged.
