26.2 Runtime Parameters, Physical Constants, and Multispecies Data

The logfile also records which units were included in a simulation, the runtime parameters, physical constants, and any species and their properties from the Multispecies unit. The FLASH3 logfile keeps track of whether a runtime parameter is a default value or whether its value has been redefined in the flash.par file. The [CHANGED] symbol will occur next to a runtime parameter if its value has been redefined in the flash.par. Note that the runtime parameters are output in alphabetical order within the Fortran datatype - so integer parameters are shown first, then real, then string, then Boolean. The snippet below shows the this portion of the logfile; omitted sections are indicated with “...".
