KEYWORD concept

A keyword allows to label a specif file regardless the file name. The user is therefore entitled to choose the file name provided that it is associated to its keyword. This is possible through the file _geotop.inpts and _geotop.init Keyword are defined in the _geotop.init and they MUST NOT BE CHANGED by the user, the complete list is provided in the table below. All keywords stating with "I_" identify input files regardless their format (text, raster), "O_" identify output files, "REC_" identify recovery files from previous simulations necessary to start a new simulation based on the results of the previous one.
