Solve the MHD equations on a stretched Cartesian grid using second order explicit time integration with conservative and flux-limited spatial finite differences. Adaptable numerical grid can have from a few times 10^5 to more than 10^8 cells. Thus, the resolution in the MHD grid near the sub-solar magnetopause can be as small as 100 km or as large as 0.5 Re. A Yee grid is used to preserve the magnetic field divergence to round-off error. Does not include the energetic particle drift and ring current physics. No plasmasphere. Wave propagation through the inner magnetosphere is affected. Wave propagation in the inner magnetosphere is artificially slowed due to a `Boris correction' to keep time steps manageable. The developers do not provide any guarantee for the correctness of model results. Properties and Limitations of OpenGGCM (Open Geospace General Circulation Model)
