Gambit Journal File Scripts, Public Database Needed?

Jonas Larsson

I've been playing with Gambit for the last few weeks and I've quickly realised that there is a huge potential in the journal file concept. However, due to the many bugs still present in Gambit and also due to the very limited journal file language I've chosen to write perl scripts that generate journal files instead of just writing journal files directly. This makes it much easier to do parametric studies, alter modules to fit new CAD geometries etc (the journal files are dependent on the numbering of CAD elements - makes it very difficult to write general journal files).

If we could share these journal files or rather, the scripts that generate journal files, in a public database (perhaps here at CFD Online) this could be a potentially very useful resource. My question is really if there are any Gambit users out there who would be willing to share their journal-file modules with other users? I could set up this database here at CFD Online if there is an interestet and need for it.
