Short Description of Functionality

The program ZEITR is a postprocessor for different numerical models (e.g. TRIM-2D, TRIM-3D, TELEMAC-2D, UNTTRIM etc.). ZEITR converts synoptic data sets (2D or 3D scalar/vector data as well as data along profiles or at specific locations) or cross sectionally averaged/ integrated data for arbitrary physical quantities into equivalent time-series. For every node of the computational grid or profile or all of the so called profile master points (for cross sectionally averaged/ integrated data) all computed quantities can be converted into a time-series data representation.

Input-Files

1. general input data (filetype zeitr.dat)
2. synoptic results which shall be converted (filetype dirz.bin.r, dirz.bin.i and dirz.bin)

Notice: further input files can be found on the file description pages of the aforementioned files. Output-Files:

1. converted time-series data (files of type dirz.bin.r, dirz.bin.i and dirz.bin)
2. informative printer file (filetype zeitr.sdr)
3. (optional) trace of program execution (filetype zeitr.trc)

Methodology

For every node of a computational grid or profile or all the so called profile master points the synoptic data are gathered as an equivalent time-serie and written to the direct access data file. Programs which use the data subsequently can access each calculated physical quantity at each node of the computational grid directly as a single data record.
