-An //.inp// file is an ASCII file which serves as an input file for the [[software:polyxsim|PolyXSim]] simulation algorithm. The code below shows an example of how a basic //.inp// file looks like. For a more advanced version (with simulation of background) click [[fileformat:inp:background|here]].

 The code basically shows two columns. The left one shows the input parameters and the code which the PolyXSim algorithm can read. The second column to the right shows the respective explanations. Note that every passage which starts with a # symbol is skipped by the algorithm. So all explanations (right column) start with a # in front. Some input code (left column) is also labelled with a #. By doing this you can force the algorithm to skip the labelled passage, for example in line 3: //#beam_width//. Depending on the kind of simulation you want to perform, it might be necessary to switch on/switch off certain input parameters.
