EFIT kinetic profile data

  1. Prepare K input file using a particular SNAP file
    • _MSES for spline representation using magnetic and MSE data
    • _MSEP for polynomial representation using magnetic and MSE data
    • Run EFIT in mode 5, rename K file accordingly
  2. Run EFIT in mode 2 using the K file to get G EQDSK
    • Use 33x65 double precision version
  3. Run ENERGY code on Vaxs or 4d on Hps using the G EQDSK to prepare profile information for ONETWO run
    • Need to prepare EDAT files for CER and Thomson before ENERGY, see get_edat.doc
    • Vary knot points appropriately to match the experimental data. Use autoknot, fix axis, fix edge options
    • Get profiles of ne, Te, Zeff, Ti, and Omega
    • Use command procedure on Vaxs (profiles_084654_02290.com)
  4. Run ONETWO on HP workstations to get pressure profile information and import it to the K file
    • Use an existing INONE file as template (i183729.02450)
      • Update ne, Te, Zeff, Ti, and Omega profile information from ENERGY P0 file
      • Update neutral beam power using information on power, average beam energy, average right beam fraction from command procedure results on Vaxs (do_nbi.com)
      • Update shot and time
    • Use Freeman's run12 script to run, see run12.doc
    • Summarize results by running summarize
    • Check results using graphic outputs
  5. Prepare kinetic input file for EFIT using ONETWO QIKONE file
    • Use command procedure on Vaxs to extract the profile information and port it to the K file
    • Manually edit the K file, namelist title, number of fitting parameters, pressure profile uncertainty
  6. Run 65x65 double precision version of EFIT efitd6565d using new kinetic K input file
    • Track convergence and chi2
  7. Repeat whole procedure using new kinetic EQDSK if needed
