BAM par file
The par file is required for the setup of an NR simulation with BAM. Since this information is extensive, let's now focus on the flags you can specify. Please note that there might be additional/less flags required for your specific use case.
Example
Here we focus on a general NR simulation performed to simulate the merger of a binary neutron star. An example par file for this sort of simulation can found here.
The very first line of the par file lists the required physics modules for the simulation. Crucially, these modules need to be downloaded from the Git repository before compiling BAM.
physics = adm z4 Gauge matter eos grhd2Fluid BNSdataReader Invariants AHmod hydroanalysis
adm = z4 = Gauge= matter
eos = This module provides the interface to setup the treatment of nuclear Equation-of-State (EOS) information inside BAM.
