Executing MHARNESS

The program MHARNESS® is invoked with one command line arguments as shown below

$mharness infile

The argument, ‘infile’, specifies the input file name. The input file must have the extension, ‘inp’.

For the Windows platform, the invocation of MHARNESS in a command prompt window is similar. However if the input file is not specified, an open file dialog box appears for the selection of the input file. MHARNESS can also be invoked by double-clicking on the MHARNESS icon. The input file name is again entered via the dialog box. The dialog box has the built-in filter to show files with the ‘inp’ extension only.

If fatal errors are detected during the execution of MHARNESS, then the process will be aborted with error messages written to the screen.
