Running the ARIANT Executable

This is intended as a quick primer for setting up the batch files needed to start a ARIANT job.

Step 1:

Prepare your input file. See the documentation section of the website (ARIANT Input Reference ) for detailed information. An example of an input file can be seen here in the demo problem.

Step 2:

MS Windows (Windows 7, Windows 10 and Windows Server):

Prepare an MS DOS batch file with a reference to the correct version of ARIANT and your input files. An example is shown below:

set ARIANT=<your path here><executable version desired here>

%ARIANT% input.inp,input.lg,input.lis 1>input.log 2>err.log

The path location must be specified correctly for the batch job to call the ARIANT executable.

For CNL Network users, the path should be specified as: 
     <network path>\ARIANT\bin\<executable name>

For information on running the executable on any other platform, please see the documentation section of the website for the ARIANT version release notes.

Step 3:

Run the batch file.

Error Conditions:

If you are getting errors when you attent to ARIANT indicating that the lua executable is not found, you need to install it on your local machine. It is open source and available at www.lua.org.
