This component displays the simulation progress and status but does not affect the neutron parameters. The display is updated in regular intervals of the full simulation; the default step size is 10 %, but it may be changed using the percent parameter (from 0 to 100). The estimated computation time is displayed at the begining and actual simulation time is shown at the end.
Additionally, setting the flag_save to 1 results in a regular save of the data files during the simulation. This means that is is possible to view the data before the end of the computation, and have also a trace of it in case of computer crash. The achieved percentage of the simulation is stored in these temporary data files. Technically, this save is equivalent to sending regularly a USR2 signal to the running simulation.
The optional ’profile’ parameter, when set to a file name, will produce the number of statistical events reaching each component in the simulation. This may be used to identify positions where events are lost.
