There are two files you need. You already have model.ctl, but you need the data file, too. I think it's model.dat.<br><br>Jeff Duda<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 2:57 PM, Jerry Jien <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jerry.jien@mail.utoronto.ca" target="_blank">jerry.jien@mail.utoronto.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have recently begun using GrADS and going through the tutorial section from <a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html." target="_blank">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.htm</a>. My concern is getting GrADS to read the descriptor
file of model.ctl upon entering 'open model.ctl' in my command line. I understand there can be issue with the file directory that when entering on the script window but after double checking my path name, I can not decipher where it went wrong. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My path name is /Users/jienjerr/Downloads/grads/bin/grads</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The graphic output window appears after I have pressed 'enter' following typing my path name but I would get 'Open Error: Can't open description file' in my command window.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can anyone please help to point out where I've done something wrong?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you.</div>
