To run CONVERGE, open a command prompt or terminal window and change directory (cd) to the directory containing the input files for the case you wish to run (the Case Directory). Then type the name of the CONVERGE executable at the prompt or the name of the link to the appropriate executable (converge). The executable is named by the following convention:
converge-<version>-serial-<operating system><architecture>
For example, to run a serial version of CONVERGE 2.4 on a 64-bit machine in Windows, type
converge-2.4.8-serial-win64.exe
Note that the executable for older versions additionally includes the release date and is named by the convention:
converge-<version>-serial-<operating system>-<architecture>-<release date>
In a typical Unix run, you redirect the screen output to a file so it can be stored and examined later (e.g., converge > log.out &).
