Overall
After a successful Omega3P run with typical set of parameters, there will be a few things to be watched:
- The screen print-out,
- output file,
- a subdirecory containing eigenvectors,
- optionally a set of mode files.
Notes about those files:
- We will have more explanation about screen print-out in the next sections.
- The file output contains some summary results such as mode frequency, wall loss quality factors, or external quality factors for each computed mode. It also contains some statistics such as the problem size, the number of elements, and timing of various stages in omega3p run.
- The sub-directory should be preserved so that more postprocess can be done for the computed modes. Please see ACDTool for more details.
- A set of mode files along with the mesh file can be visualized with ParaView.

Some Explanations
The following lines show the number of elements and number of DOFs in the computation:

The following lines show the memory usage:
Maximal per-core estimated memory 451 MB Aggregated estimated memory 875 MB Maximal per-core estimated memory if OOC 184 MB Aggregated estimated memory if OOC 365 MB
If the Maximal per-core memory is larger than what is available, user should either increase the number of cores in the computation or use other options such as Out-of-core (OOC) solver. Note that it may not be good to use excessively large number of cores in the computation (in fact, it may hurt performance or it may fail to get results if doing so). It is often a good idea to have a few thousand elements per core in the parallel computations.
The following lines show the resulting eigen frequencies.
Number of converged eigenpairs = 2 eigenvalue: 2.726061596672462e+03 Frequency: 2.491200411267457e+09 Residual: 2.54e-11 eigenvalue: 3.545447315320415e+03 Frequency: 2.841033486606133e+09 Residual: 1.25e-09
Note that the residual of the eigenpair should be reasonably small to be a good solution.
