[Opm] OPM Query - From a New User

[Wilkinson, David]

Dear Member,

I am just starting to learn the ropes with OPM and have tried out some datasets which run fine on Eclipse.
I have a few issues to try to overcome:

>From the OPM Manual  https://opm-project.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/OPM_Flow_Documentation_2020-04_Rev-1.pdf
TUNING keyword (page 1479)
"TUNING defines the parameters used for controlling the commercial simulator's numerical convergence parameters for the global grid.  The keyword is mostly ignored by OPM Flow; however, the simulator can be instructed to read the first record of the TUNING keyword if the appropriate command line parameter has been activated (see section 2.2 Running OPM Flow 2020-04 From The Command Line)."

  *   I tried inserting TUNING into the SCHEDULE section of a dataset, it indeed had no effect.
  *   I cannot find an "appropriate command line parameter" in Section 2.2 Running OPM Flow 2020-04 From The Command Line.
Also a "find" facility (when searching for keywords etc.) does not seem to be available for the manual.

I would like to get OPM to use CPR as the linear solver's pre-conditioner (Eclipse has a keyword CPR, which is apparently not supported by OPM).
The necessary command is detailed as --use-cpr in the OPM manual (page 56).  I'm not sure how to apply this.  Grateful if anyone could advise.

OPM does not seem to have a MINPORV option?  Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?
I should be very grateful if you could point me in the best direction to be able to overcome any of the above issues.

Kind regards,
