Processor Nodes
To understand how use FFAStrans, you have to understand how it works. It works by a sequence of processor nodes where each node runs one after the other. You have to choose a first node, which continues to the second if the conditions are met, then to the third if the conditions are met, etc. The running direction of the processor nodes is from left to right. There is an input and/or an output and each output goes into an input.
