Hi,
The DOME case has been designed to test the embedding procedure. As such, it indeed requires that input parent and child grids are provided and adjusted, hence created offline thanks to the DOMAINcfg tool. If you go in the /tool/DOMAINcfg/tests/DOME directory you’ll find namelists to create parent and child meshes. After compiling the DOMAINcfg tool, you should be able to retrieve the input files by typing ./make_domain_cfg.exe in the same directory.
Nevertheless, if your wish is to run DOME without any zoom, you can simply set the first line of AGRIF_FixedGrids.in file to 0 (or compile without key_agrif defined), and set ln_read_cfg=.false. in your namelist_cfg. Domain will be created online in that case.
