Without -t McArtim produces a single row of output. -t allows to process tables with data. The number of output rows will be the same as the number of lines in the data file specified in simulation.conf.

Passing the -h option to McArtim allows to get command line support for the configuration files:

With the call McArtim -h -c directory the program generates a configuration and directory structure skeleton, that can be used as a starting point. The only information that one has to pass to the program is a fully qualified directory path directoryin which the configuration skeleton shall be created. The data that one will need in order to complete the configuration are
