CFAST cannot find material properties #64

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I tried to run FMSNL_4.in in the CFAST repository, but got two errors saying 
that the target and compartment material properties were not found. I also have 
.o file in the directory. What other input files do I need?

YOU need three files to run each of these cases:  the .in file (input file that 
contains specifications for the geometry of the simulation), the .o file (a 
fire object description that includes the time history information for the 
fire) and the thermal.csv file (that includes the thermal properties for 
materials specified in the .in file. Normally these three files reside in the 
same directory.

Sometimes test cases use default properties (that are included in a thermal.csv 
that ships with the NIST code), but these case use a custom one that is 
included in the folder for each case.

Tested and verified that the cases run as expected.
