RMA10PRP is designed to setup input R10 files that can be used for model execution.

RMA-10 uses as input four blocks of data in the R10 file

1 File block allows the user to define the files that will be used

2 Limits block, where memory limits can be set that cannot be automatically allocated.

3 Control data block that sets up all the parameters required for the simulation. Note that default values are available and will be filled into table entries as appropriate. When files are saved the user will have the option to save all data lines or only those that differ from default values.

4 Time step data blocks. These blocks contains steady state sections and time step sections where time step values and controls, plus boundary conditions are setup.

On entry RMA10PRP opens with a series on menu options available.

In general terms

1 The FILE menu controls file selection. Three options permit the user to load an existing new format file, convert an old format file or save a newly edited file.

2 OPEN FILE BLOCK displays the various files and filenames that will be used in the simulation plus the limits that can only be set based on the particular problem.

3 OPEN CONTROL BLOCK offers four sub menus that allow the user to set up the control variables

4 OPEN TIME STEP BLOCK allows the user to set boundary conditions for each step in the model setup. When opened, the user is prompted to select the appropriate step for editing.

5 EXECUTE RMA10 allows the user to execute RMA-10 directly on the currently formed data set. Note that it must be saved beforehand.

6 HELP allows the user to select various HELP screens.
