Catima Caluclator
================
Catima Caluclator is a command line application and interface to the catime library.
Usage
-----
The application is executed from the command line:
```
catima_calculator config_file";
```
example
```
catima_calculator c.json
```
Config File Format
------------------
The file must be a valid JSON formatted file.
The json file should contain the following keys: "projectile", "material", "energy"
#### projectile
The __projectile__ keywords are:
* array - 2 number array, 1st is mass number, 2nd is charge of the projectile
examples:
```
"projectile":[11.997,6],
```
#### material
The __material__ keyword is array of object for multi layer material,
or single object defining the material.
The material object must contain __Z__ keyword defining proton number
of the projectile or the compound material id.
Optional material object keywords are:
* __Z__ - proton number or compunds id, mandatory
* __A__ - mass number of the material, if 0 or undefined elemental atomic weight is used
* __density__ - density in g/cm3, if 0 or undefined the tabulated density will be used.
* __thickness__ - material or layer thickness in g/cm2
#### energy
The __energy__ keyword can be:
* a number specifying the kinetic energy:
```
"energy":"500.0"
```
* array of numbers for multiple energies:
```
"energy":[100,200,500,1000]
```
* Object specifying minimum energy, maximum energy and energy step, to calculate multiple energies:
```
"energy":{
"min": 100,
"max": 1000,
"step": 10
}
```
instead of "step" key the "num" can be specified for integer number of steps between min and max energy.
#### config
The calculation configuration can be change using __config__ keyword. If
not specified default will be used. The config keyword is expected to be one of the strings
* "atimav1.3" - for Atima v1.3 setting
* "atimav1.4" - for Atima v1.4 setting
```
"config":"atimav1.4"
```
