Combining Propaceos Tables

Propaceos eos/opacity (.prp) files can be combined by running Propaceos from a command line using the -C option, e.g.:

Propaceos.exe -C [full path to input deck]

The input deck must be a text file with the following format:

### Tables to combine (full paths, max. 4):
D:/Propaceos_output_01.prp
D:/Propaceos_output_02.prp
#

### Output table (full path):
D:/Compbined_01_and_02.prp
#

Up to 4 input files (.prp) may be entered in the list. The output table file will be created (and overwritten if it exists).

Presently, tables can only be combined if the following criteria are met:

• Input tables must use Propaceos Format 8
• Input tables must share either temperature or density grids. It is ok if EOS and Opacity use unique grids, so long as that is consistent across input files. If you are ultimately combining grid segments which vary in both temparature and density, a succession of combination commands can be done, where first, e.g., like-temperature-grid files are combined, and then the resulting like-density-grid files are combined.
• In the input deck file, input tables must appear in order of ascending values for the variable grid (be that the temperature or the density grid)
• For the variable grids, grid values may not overlap with neighboring grids. I.e., the last point of a grid must be less than the first point of the next grid.
• Input tables must use the same material
• PCS-QEOS must not be used
• Neither non-zero thickness nor hot electrons can be used
