Clean-up of Intermediate Files

During the sim2seis run, intermediate files are generated to provide subsequent steps with detailed information about the results of earlier stages. These files are in Python's pickle format, where class objects are stored. As pickle files can be quite large, they should be deleted when no longer required. This can also be incorporated into an ert ensemble run, ensuring that the pickle files for each realisation are removed. The clean-up process can be executed via the command line:

shell
> sim2seis_cleanup -s <start_dir> -c <config_dir> -f <config_file>

To see all options:

shell
> sim2seis_cleanup --help

To add this in an ert run, the following line must be added at the end of the sim2seis job file:

ert
-- Define your variables:
FORWARD_MODEL CLEANUP(<START_DIR>=<JOB_STARTDIR>, <CONFIG_DIR>=<RELPATH_CONFIG_FILES>, <CONFIG_FILE>=<SIM2SEIS_CONFIG_FILE_NAME>)

All required parameters for an ert run are defined in ert configuration.
