Welcome to FIER Documentation

FIER

Getting Started

The FIER (Fission Induced Electromagnetic Response) code is a program designed to predict delayed gamma-ray spectra following fission. Detailed documentation is available in the FIER Installation Guide and Reference Manual.

Prerequisites

The following are required to run FIER:

• C++11 or higher, and
• the g++ compiler.

The following tools are highly recommended:

• make, to run the make file
• git, to pull code from the repository
• a Bourne-compatible shell, to run the multiprocess Monte Carlo analysis.
• texlive, for compiling the LaTeX manual.

Execution

To run the software using the default input deck, navigate to the FIER directory:

• Type $ make
• If make fails for any reason, you can manually build and run FIER with the commands:
  • $ g++ -o fier.exe main.cpp species data.o helper_functions.o chains_data.o product_data.o monte_carlo.o
  • $ ./fier.exe deck.txt

WARNING: To store the output, a folder titled 'output' must be manually created in the same directory as the main.cpp file prior to executing the program. This folder will not be automatically generated and output will not be written to disk if the folder is not present.

To build the attached user manual, navigate to the FIER_Manual directory.

• Type '$ make' The manual will be created as main.pdf.
