Step 2: In order to solve an lqn file, open the command prompt. Step 3: Change directory to the folder where lqns.exe file is placed.
Step 4: To run the LQNS solver, type “lqns <filename.lqn>”.If the lqn file is not in the current directory, you need to give its absolute path along with the name of the file.
Step 5: If there is no error, the output produced by the solver will be displayed; otherwise, an error or warning will be displayed.
Step 6: If there is no error then program is successful. The output will be produced as βfilename.outβ in the same folder where the source file is placed.
