Preview Command File Before Job submit

In the future, there might be situations in which new features are added to the ACE3P simulation codes before being incorporated into ModelBuilder. To deal with those cases, modelbuilder includes an option to display the ACE3P command file in a text editor before uploading it to NERSC. To enable this option, go to the Edit menu and select the Settings… item to open the settings dialog (on macOS systems, go to the modelbuilder menu and select the Preferences… item). In the settings dialog, go to the ACE3P tab and click the checkbox labeled Enable editing of job input before submission. Then click the Apply button and the OK button to close the dialog.

When that option is enabled, the process for submitting an analysis job to NERSC is modified. After setting the job properties (number of nodes, number of cores, etc.) in the job-submit dialog, modelbuilder generates the ACE3P command file and displays it in a text-editor dialog. Users can make any changes to the file and then click one of the buttons to Cancel Submission, Submit Without Edits, or Submit With Edits.
