Running CONTAM
As indicated in the Installing CONTAM section, CONTAM actually consists of two executable programs: ContamW and ContamX. ContamW is the graphical user interface and ContamX is the simulation engine. Typically you will activate ContamX via a menu command from within ContamW. However, ContamX can be utilized as a command-line tool and even utilized within script or batch files.
Run ContamW by selecting CONTAM 2.4 from the NIST program group of the Start menu.
Running ContamX as a Command-line Program
The easiest way to run ContamX as a command-line program is by
locating the contamx2.exe file and related projects and supporting
files within a common directory. The command-line format for running
ContamX is as follows:CONTAMX2 <project filename> If you leave off the project file name, you will be prompted to
enter one, therefore when running in batch mode be sure to provide
a filename.
