. An example interactive session for a clay SED2D simulation follows.
C:\SED2D> sed2dv45.exe
To receive a response menu, type ?
ENTER RUN CONTROL INPUT FILE NAME
claysed.sed
ENTER FULL PRINT OUTPUT FILE NAME
claysed.out
ENTER INPUT GEOMETRY FILE FROM GFGEN (binary)
madora.gbn
ENTER INPUT RMA2 HYDRODYNAMIC FILE (binary)
madora.sol
ENTER OUTPUT CONCENTRATION/DELBED FILE (binary)
claysed.cd
ENTER OUTPUT BED STRUCTURE (binary)
claysed.bs
ENTER OUTPUT GEOMETRY CONTAINING NEW BATHYMETRY (ascii)
claysed.geo
The program now will run. Some information will be written to the screen as the
program progresses. If the process finishes normally, the prompt appears. Check
that the files requested to be created were saved. By default, the output files will be
saved to the same directory from which the program was launched. If the process
does not finish normally, an error message will be written to the screen. Examine the
error message carefully to determine the cause of the error. Also check the bottom
of the full print file ("claysed.out") to find clues about when and how the program
was aborted. For further information, see WARNINGS AND ERROR MESSAGES
The program may be run in interactive mode on a mainframe computer, such as the
Cray T3E located at the WES High Performance Computer Center (HPC). Because
of the way data are stored and accessed on the WES HPC, including the Mass
Storage Facility (MSF), and the changing rules regarding the amount of memory
available per processor, there is not a straight forward way to just execute the TABS-
MD models. In this example, the IBATCH variable is set to interactive. In the /tmp
director, compile SED2D using CF77. If you have prepared a run file, containing the
input file names in the proper order, you can free up the terminal session for other
activities. The actual command to run the SED2D model in this mode would use the
direct (<) command re-direct (>) command, and the optional unix C-shell nohup
utility would be as shown.

Running in Batch Mode
Batch mode is typically used on a large mainframe computer system, such as the
Cray T3E at the Waterways Experiment Station. On the WES Cray computers and
other mainframes, the batch mode execution of SED2D requires computer specific
job control language. Since the specific syntax changes frequently, it will not be
presented in this document. The WES Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)
