SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on implementing sequential file output in Fortran during a simulation run. The user seeks assistance in naming output files numerically within a loop. The provided code snippet demonstrates the use of the WRITE statement to format filenames dynamically. By modifying the code, users can successfully generate output files named in a numerical sequence, enhancing data management during simulations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Fortran programming language
  • Familiarity with file I/O operations in Fortran
  • Knowledge of format specifications in Fortran
  • Experience with loops and control structures in programming
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced file handling techniques in Fortran
  • Learn about Fortran's WRITE statement and its formatting options
  • Investigate the use of subroutines for modular programming in Fortran
  • Study best practices for managing simulation data output
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for Fortran developers, simulation engineers, and anyone involved in data output management within scientific computing environments.

Hello,
I am currently using a Fortran program to run a simulation which involves an explicit differentiation loop. The program currently plots simulation data at specified time intervals using a subroutine with another program. I'd like to have the program also output data files at these specified times. I'd like to add one set of commands into the loop for the program to output the data files, but I cannot figure out a way for Fortran to name the files in some numerical order. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Here's an example:
Code:
      IMPLICIT INTEGER(I-N), REAL*8(A-H,O-Z)
      N=5
      CHARACTER *12 FN
      DO 5 I=1,N
      WRITE(FN,10)I
      WRITE(6,*)FN
      OPEN(1,FILE=FN)
      CLOSE(1)
    5 CONTINUE
   10 FORMAT('INPUT',I3.3,'.FMT')
      STOP
      END
By modifying the code according to your needs, you should be able to achieve what you want to do.
