         cd cime/scripts
         ./create_newcase            # get help on how to run create_newcase
         ./create_newcase --case testI --res f19_f19_mg17 --compset I2000SlimRsGs
                                     # create new "I" case for cheyenne_intel at 1.9x2.5_gx1v7 res
                                     # "I2000SlimRsGs" case is SLIM active, datm8, and inactive ice/ocn/glc/rof
         cd testI
         ./case.setup                # create the $CASE.run file
         ./case.build                # build model and create namelists
