Compressed Multisim Stage Files

The data and files from each completed stage in a multisim workflow are archived and compressed in a .tgz file, with names usually following the format of

jobname_stagenum-out.tgz

The archive contains files related to a particular stage, including:

• backend configuration files (-in.cfg, -out.cfg)
• backend log file (.log)
• CMS structure files: -in.cms, the input structure (first frame) for the current stage; -out.cms, the output structure (last frame for the current stage which is used as input for the next stage
• checkpoint file (.cpt)
• energy file (.ene)
• simulation box details (-simbox.dat)
• trajectory directory containing the trajectory for the step.

Getting the zip of all stages can take up a lot of space; the trim stage can be used to more precisely choose which stages should send back their files.
