<h4>Execute</h4>

<p>After saving a project at the top of the project page a new button appears: <strong>Execute button</strong>. Just clicking this button the simulation immediately starts. If it finished you can see the results by clicking <strong><em>Link to the result directory</em></strong> link. This directory contains the INI sets, optional input files and all of the results of the simulation, these can be downloaded one by one.</p>

<h4>Project status</h4>

<p>Each project have a <strong>status field</strong> which is automatically created and changed. The project status can be checked on project page or on the list of projects (in menu).</p>

<ul>
	<li>planned: the project saved, but not executed</li>
	<li>in progress: the project is running</li>
	<li>closed: the project has finished</li>
	<li>aborted: error occured</li>
</ul>

<h4>List of files in the result directory</h4>

<p>Created before simulation:</p>

<ul>
	<li>spinup.ini</li>
	<li>normal.ini</li>
	<li>*.mgm (if management)</li>
	<li>*.txt (if mortality, conductance, etc)</li>
	<li>output_parameters (binary file, text editors cannot read it)</li>
</ul>

<p>Created by simulation:</p>

<ul>
	<li>spinup.log</li>
	<li>out.log</li>
	<li>out.[dayout, monavgout, annavgout, annout] - results of simulation</li>
</ul>

<p>The results depend on the output set: which output types were selected. The results can be ASCII or binary files (also depending on the output set).</p>

<h4>If simulation failed</h4>

<p>There are many reasons of project error:</p>

<ul>
	<li>error in the BBGCDB system<br />
	result: nothing happens or <em>aborted</em> project status</li>
	<li>incompatible inputs or wrong input files<br />
	result: the project has directory but there is not any results, or empty results in it</li>
	<li>other</li>
</ul>

<p>It is useful in finding the error to check project status and result directory, mainly spinup.log or output.log. If you can not find out what happened, contact the system maintainer.</p>

<h4>Other possibilities</h4>

<p>In <em><strong>Methods </strong></em>menu item there is a list of available methods executable on closed projects. Methods can be filtered on which project type it is applied. Click on <em><strong>Link to start</strong></em> link, select the project (and add other parameters if needed), and start the method by clicking <em><strong>START</strong></em> button.</p>
