1. Running VIVANA

VIVANA can be run using the graphical interface VIVANA4WIN or using standard run command procedures.

1.1. VIVANA4WIN

VIVANA4WIN is a utility program for running VIVANA analysis modules and viewing key results.

1.2. How to use standard run command procedures

This section will give a description of how to use the standard VIVANA run command procedure delivered as a part of a VIVANA installation.

The file name convention used consists of a prefix in addition to the basic file names described in Explanation of files used. The prefix and the basic file names are separated by an underscore.

The same type of file name convention is also used for RIFLEX. Prior to running VIVANA, the RIFLEX modules INPMOD and STAMOD must be run according to the RIFLEX is given in the RIFLEX User Guide. Necessary commands to do this are given in the following:

riflex inpmod prefix
riflex stamod prefix

The necessary commands to run VIVANA is given by:

riflex vivana prefix prefix

The file names used by the different modules are summarized in the following. For description of the files used for internal communication, see Explanation of files used.

The run command procedure can easily be modified to allow other use of prefixes for file identification, e.g. separate prefixes for STAMOD and INPMOD runs.

  • prefix_inpmod.inp - symbolic input file

  • prefix_inpmod.res - symbolic result file .

  • prefix_ifninp.sam - internal communication file
