CTF 4.0 User's Manual

The deck version is specified using the PPV flag on Card 1.1. In general, you should always use the latest version of the CTF input deck in order to make sure your model is treated correctly in CTF. This feature was added to retain backwards compatibility for older input decks. When an input deck is created with the CTF pre-processor, the latest version will always be used. Table 1 provides the revision history of the CTF input deck. The first column gives the version number of the deck and the second columns gives a description of what changed since the previous version of the input deck. This document describes how to make a CTF input deck. A CTF input deck is organized into Card Groups and Cards. A Card Group is a collection of Cards. A Card is defined as a line of input. Each Card may contain multiple data. A Card is terminated by making a new line. This document has been organized so that each Card Group is discussed in its own dedicated chapter. Each card is discussed in its own dedicated section. Each data in the card is discussed in its own block. The block gives information about the data, including the number of the input, the title, a description of the meaning of the data, units, data type, and so on. An example block is shown below to discuss the meaning of each entry in the block.
