Files

ADF has created a couple of data files and a couple of text files. You can check this in the ADFjobs window:

Click on the ADFjobs window

Note that the Local files are visible because earlier in the tutorial you already clicked on the triangle opening the details for this job.

The .adf file is the input as saved by ADFinput, the .run file is the run script. You can make changes to it by hand, if you wish.

The .job file is a script file based on the .run file, and is created by ADFjobs. It contains all commands required to run your job, and is actually run by ADFjobs when you use the Run command.

The .pid file is a file that contains your job status and configuration. It is used by ADFjobs.

The other files are produced by ADF. The .err file contains error messages, the .logfile shows the progress of the calculation, the .out file is the main (text) output file, and the other files are binary files that store results of the calculation.
