TOUGH2 newbie here, how to edit PARAM and TIMES

How do you edit the PARAM and TIMES block to make the output be every year for 10 years? This is my current blocks

 

PARAM----1----*-123456789012345678901234----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8
   39999     500000000000000000501005000   
 0.00000E0  3.50E08   -1.000E0              a 1     -9.806650
  3.1536E7  6.3072E7  9.4608E7  1.2600E8  1.5800E8  1.8900E8  2.2100E8  2.5200E8
    1.E-06
           1.750E+07               230.0

RPCAP----1----*----2----*----3----*----4----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8
    1           .700      .000        1.       0.3
    1           .000      .000        1. 
LINEQ----1----*----2----*----3----*----4----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8
 21.0000e-10 5001  10
TIMES----1----*----2----*----3----*----4----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8

    Hi Fredeve,

    Here you go:

       39999     500100000000000000501005000   
     0.00000E0  3.50E08    1.000E2              a 1     -9.806650
        1.E-06
               1.750E+07               230.0

    TIMES----1----*----2----*----3----*----4----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8
        1   10           3.15576e7
     3.15576e7

     

    Just read the manual. Your main misunderstanding is that in PARAM you would have to specify time STEP; have (almost) never done that in my 30 years of TOUGH2 modeling - just let TOUGH2 determine the time step size, so set DELTEN to the initial time step size. By contrast, block TIMES specifies at what time you get the full printout (yes, it also affects the tine step size to make sure it "lands" on that printout time). Moreover, if you start your simulation at time zero (as you do, see TSTART), you cannot request a printout time at time zero (as you did in TIMES), because TOUGH2 has not calculated anything yet!

    Good luck!
