======== open-pic

open-pic is a 3D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code for collisionless plasma simulation. Depends on luabind and boost libraries.

Build steps for Ubuntu 18:

Install lua sudo apt-get install lua5.1

1. Extract /3rdparty/3rdparty.tar.xz ti the same directory
2. In Makefile and setup.sh set the OPIC_DIR to your local repo directory path
3. Run make in your local repo directory path
4. Make sure that the "opic" binary eecutable is created.
5. Copy "opic" file to /sim/m15d1 cp ./opic ./sim/m15d1/
6. Run comands listed setup.sh commands in your terminal
7. Run cd ./sim/m15d1
8. Run open-pic sumulation opic main.lua

See "main.lua" and other Lua scripts for simulation flow control.
