# AdunCore(1)

core module of the Adun molecular simulator

## NAME

AdunCore - core module of the Adun molecular simulator

## SYNOPSIS

**AdunCore** \[*OPTIONS*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **AdunCore** command.

**AdunCore** is the core module of the *Adun* molecular simulator.  It is launched automatically from the *UL* GUI but can be used from the GNU/Linux console as well.  Options to **AdunCore** must be specified as value pairs in the form \`-Option Value'.  The following options are available:

- **-Template**

  A valid Adun template.  This is the only option that is mandatory.

- **-ExternalObjects**

  A dictionary in plist format.  Its contents extend the externalObjects section of the template.  If there are duplicate keys this dictionary takes precedence.

- **-SimulationOutputDir**

  Directory where simulation data directory will be stored.  (Default value: SimulationOutput)

- **-ControllerOutputDir**

  Directory where controller data will be stored.  (Default value: ControllerOutput)

- **-CreateLogFiles**

  If *YES* log files are created.  If  *NO* they are not.  (Default value: YES)

- **-LogFile**

  File where the program output will be written.  (Default value: AdunCore.log)

- **-ErrorFile**

  File where program errors and warnings will be written.  (Default value: AdunCore.errors)

- **-RedirectOutput**

  If *YES* the log files will be moved to the simulation output directory. (Default value: YES)

- **-RunInteractive**

  If *YES* the simulation loop is spawned as a separate thread.  The main thread then enters a run loop and can serve external requests.  If *NO* then interaction is not possible with the simulation.  (Default value: NO)

- **-ConnectToAdServer**

  If *YES* the simulation registers its existence with a local AdServer daemon. This allows the simulation to be viewed and controlled from the Adun GUI.  (Default value: NO)
