The number of threads can be controlled using the command <Maximum_Number_of_Threads>
<Simulation_Parameter> ... <Maximum_Number_of_Threads>12</Maximum_Number_of_Threads> ... </Simulation_Parameter>
In the case where a combined Temperature-Voltage sweep is used, there are two levels of parallelization. The first is at the level of the command <Threads> in the <SweepParameters> section.
<SweepParameters> <SweepType>Temperature-Voltage</SweepType> ... <Threads>6</Threads> <!-- Parallelization for Temperature-Voltage sweep --> </SweepParameters>
The second level of parallelization occurs in the <Simulation_Parameter> section:
<Simulation_Parameter> ... <Maximum_Number_of_Threads>2</Maximum_Number_of_Threads> ... </Simulation_Parameter>
In this example, the total number of threads will be <Threads>* <Maximum_Number_of_Threads> = 6*2 = 12.
By default, 2D plots are output in a VTK format (files with a .vtr extension). In addition, to output 2D plots in a AVS/Express format (.fld extension), the following command can be added in the <Output> section of the input file:
<Output> ... <FLD_format>yes</FLD_format> ... </Output>
