Initialize REACTION Project Run
The information within the REACTION system is a set of dynamically defined data types, set of attributes of these
data types and the values of these attributes. As an analysis or a manipulation of, for example,
chemical information progresses, attributes of different 'chemical' data types are filled in. A
snapshot of the current system can be saved at any point.
The REACTION system is a highly object-oriented system based on user defined
dynamic data types. In order to use REACTION, especially in combustion analysis, a standard set of
data types need to be initialized. This is done within this menu.
The following is the 'default' (and easiest proceedure) for initializing the REACTION system.
- Save Name This is the save name of the current system information. The snapshot of the
current system can be retrieved with this name.
- Start This starts the REACTION system with a fresh system with only the hard-coded generic
data types.
- Run All This gives the REACTION system the set of commands to read in the files which have the
basic data types defined.
- Save This saves a snapshot of these intialized data types under the save name given under level one
(see History menu).
The actual initialization process has three categories:
- Base Init This is the basic set of chemical types.
- Algs This sets up the algorithm information used to manipulate the molecules, reactions and mechanisms.
- DB This sets up the REACTION database information.
Under each catagory, the intialization of the specific catagories can be controlled.
