Introduction
The LMGC90 post-processing relies on a list of commands in the same way that the list of CHIC
commands used in the file COMMAND.DAT. The post-processing command are located in the
POSTPRO.DAT file in the DATBOX directory.

Introduction
The post-processing action are decomposed in three phases:

Introduction

Before computation phase used to analyse the initial data of a simulation.

Introduction

During computation phase used to recup and store informations during the simulation
process.

Introduction

process.
After computation phase used to analyse the final state of a simulation.

Introduction

process.
After computation phase used to analyse the final state of a simulation.
This natural decomposition is reproduced using CHIC command related to post-processing.
The post-processing could be performed during the simulation or using the Vloc Rloc.OUT and
DOF.OUT output files.

Introduction
If the post-processing will be performed during the simulation, the user needs to add some extra
commands in the file COMMAND.DAT:

Introduction
START POSTPRO to store all commands which must be used and initialize the
post-processing structure.

Introduction
POSTPRO DURING COMPUTATION to scan commands which must be executed during
the simulation process.

Introduction
POSTPRO AFTER COMPUTATION to scan commands which must executed after the
simulation

Introduction

If the post-processing will be performed using output files, the user does not need to launch again
the simulation. The command file must be changed a minima,using the previous command and
the following ones:

following:
