ar0.max_npts 
Maximum points of the mesh resolution.
 Set this value to change the maximum number of points used to resolve the smaller side of the selected region. This ensures that for every size of the box you draw, it will be resolved appropriately. Changing this value affects the number of points required to resolve the region as well as the smoothness of the magnetic field. 70
ar0.ds

2.3 RBSL Flux Rope Designer 
A set of parameters for the flux rope selection in the RBSL Flux Rope Designer.
Name Description Caveats Units Default Value or Actual Value Valid Min Valid Max
fr0.fp_pos_lon 
Positive longitude of the foot point of the flux rope.
 deg 302.92

Positive latitude of the foot point of the flux rope.
 deg 18.14

fr0.apex_height 
Apex height of the flux rope.
 Height of the default axis peak above the photosphere. The default axis peak is located at the flux-rope center. Rs 0.0220
fr0.fract_width 
Fractional width of the flux rope.
 Ratio of the flux rope minor radius (thickness) to the apex height. Thin flux ropes are likely to become kink-unstable. To suppress the instability, a value of 0.7 or larger should be chosen. Rs 0.6818
fr0.rbsl_frac_curr 
Fraction of the flux-rope current with respect to the 'optimized' current.
 A factor of 1 would minimize the total Lorentz forces along the body of the initial flux-rope geometry. In practice, the exact threshold for eruption depends on the details of the configuration and needs to be established through experimentation. Typically, numbers lower than the range 1.2 to 1.5 yield a stable configuration, while numbers above that lead to an eruption. The default value (1.5) should produce an eruption in most cases. 1.500
fr0.axial_current 
Axial current of the flux rope converted to code units.
 Because of how we choose to define the RBSL path, the sign signifies whether the current flows from the negative footpoint to the positive footpoint (+) or the positive footpoint to the negative footpoint (-). This will match what is in the MAS input file. 31.440994
fr0.insertion_delay_mins 
Insertion delay time of the flux rope in the final CME simulation.
 Use this only if multiple CMEs are modeled. The maximum delay time is 240 minutes. Note: This only applies to the CME simulation in Step 4, not to the zero-beta runs in Step 1. min 0.00
fr0.rbsl_minor_r 
Minor radius (half diameter) of the flux rope.
 Rs 0.0150
fr0.rbsl_hmod_pos 
The position of the peak of the flux-rope axis. 0 is the left-most point and 1 is the right-most point along the axis.
 0.50
fr0.rbsl_hmod_width 
The width of the axis peak.
 0.50
fr0.rbsl_hmod_amp 
The amplitude of the axis peak.
 1.00
MAS Settings - CME Eruption

ar1.min_ds 
Minimum delta of the mesh resolution.
 Set this value to the minimum resolution that is used inside the selected region. Changing this value affects the number of points required to resolve the region as well as the smoothness of the magnetic field. 0.003000
ar1.max_npts 
 	

Maximum points of the mesh resolution.
 Set this value to change the maximum number of points used to resolve the smaller side of the selected region. This ensures that for every size of the box you draw, it will be resolved appropriately. Changing this value affects the number of points required to resolve the region as well as the smoothness of the magnetic field. 70
ar1.ds 
Mesh resolution delta.
 This is the mesh resolution (in radians) that is used to resolve the selected region. It is determined by the size of the selected region and the two mesh parameters (minimum delta and maxim number of points). radians 0.003000

2.3 RBSL Flux Rope Designer (#2) 
A set of parameters for an additional flux rope in the RBSL Flux Rope Designer. The CORHEL-CME code allows modeling of up to two events concurrently, with the second one being optional.
Name Description Caveats Units Default Value or Actual Value Valid Min Valid Max
fr1.fp_pos_lon 
Positive longitude of the foot point of the second flux rope.
304.82
fr1.fp_pos_lat 
Positive latitude of the foot point of the second flux rope.
deg 16.98
fr1.fp_neg_lon 
Negative longitude of the foot point of the second flux rope.
 deg 300.78
fr1.fp_neg_lat 
 	

Negative latitude of the foot point of the second flux rope.
 deg 15.96
fr1.apex_height 
 	

Apex height of the second flux rope.
 Height of the default axis peak above the photosphere. The default axis peak is located at the flux-rope center. Rs 0.0190
fr1.fract_width 
 	

Fractional width of the second flux rope.
 Ratio of the flux rope minor radius (thickness) to the apex height. Thin flux ropes are likely to become kink-unstable. To suppress the instability, a value of 0.7 or larger should be chosen. Rs 0.9211
fr1.rbsl_frac_curr 
Fraction of the flux-rope current with respect to the 'optimized' current.
 A factor of 1 would minimize the total Lorentz forces along the body of the initial flux-rope geometry. In practice, the exact threshold for eruption depends on the details of the configuration and needs to be established through experimentation. Typically, numbers lower than the range 1.2 to 1.5 yield a stable configuration, while numbers above that lead to an eruption. The default value (1.5) should produce an eruption in most cases. 1.800
fr1.axial_current 
Axial current of the flux rope converted to code units.
 Because of how we choose to define the RBSL path, the sign signifies whether the current flows from the negative footpoint to the positive footpoint (+) or the positive footpoint to the negative footpoint (-). This will match what is in the MAS input file. 23.448754
fr1.insertion_delay_mins 
Insertion delay time of the second flux rope in the final CME simulation.
 Use this only if multiple CMEs are modeled. The maximum delay time is 240 minutes. Note: This only applies to the CME simulation in Step 4, not to the zero-beta runs in Step 1. min 60.00
fr1.rbsl_minor_r 
Minor radius (half diameter) of the second flux rope.
 Rs 0.0175
fr1.rbsl_hmod_pos 
The position of the peak of the flux-rope axis. 0 is the left-most point and 1 is the right-most point along the axis.
 0.50
fr1.rbsl_hmod_width 
The width of the axis peak.
 0.40
fr1.rbsl_hmod_amp 
The amplitude of the axis peak.
