2.1 The different bioprocesses

As the bioprocess is very close to the converter the is a specific bioprocess for each converter. You will find these differents bioprocesses at odin's root directory: altoProcess, tesProcess, simProcess... For example, altoProcess is for using alto converter.

2.3 Launch Command

Once you have your XML file ready, you can launch your bioprocess with the command './bioprocessName bioprocessId &' where bioprocessId is a unique Id.

For example is you use an Alto converter then the command can be: ./altoProcess alto &

The bioprocessId is also used as the plantId in XML export files.
