3.16 Doing it yourself: customizing the code

When you are ready to run the model in the configuration you want, the easiest thing is to use and adapt the setup of the case studies experiment (described previously) that is the closest to your configuration. Then, the amount of setup will be minimized. In this section, we focus on the setup relative to the ``numerical model'' part of the code (the setup relative to the ``execution environment'' part is covered in the parallel implementation section) and on the variables and parameters that you are likely to change.
