Software requirements
Windows 7 or later OS with DirectX 11 or newer support. If your computer is purchased on or after 2010, it probably can run this software. Gnuplot for windows must be installed to visualize running results. Download the latest version (gp466-win32-setup.exe or newer) for best results.
How to Run this software
Drag and drop <inputFileName>.txt (e.g. cube.txt) to grace.exe and the simulation will begin automatically.
What to do while the software is running
The program window will show calculation progress (e.g. 10%, 99%). This may take minutes or hours depending on your calculation size.
What to do after the program finishes
Double click <inputFileName>.plt (e.g. cube.plt) to view visualized magnetization dynamics. The change of average magnetizations (Mx, My, Mz) is saved in <inputFileName>.mvst.txt. Detailed snapshots of the magnetization configuration are saved in <inputFilename>.data.txt. These files may be huge, but you can use professional text editors (Notepad++ etc.) to open them.
