Short Description of Functionality

The program io_volume can be used to convert bathymetries and hydrological datasets used in hydro numeric models into formats readable by standard software. The input datasets must be synoptic and have to contain area data (neither profiles nor locations). They can be two dimensional (e.g. waterlevel) or three dimensional (e.g. salinity varying with water depth).

The data model of the converted datasets is called a volume model and contains 3D node coordinates and a 3D connectivity table.

Input-Files

general input data (file of type io_volume.dat)
bathymetry of a hydronumerical model (file of type untrim_grid, gitter05.dat or selafin (only bathymetry is evaluated))
(optional) depth values of the horizontal layers (files of type vertical.dat); depth values contained in the meta data of the datasets overwrite this information
(optional) synoptic datasets (area, 2D/3D) of a hydronumerical model (files in the universal direct access format see alsodirz.bin or of type netcdf);

Output-Files

The supported ucd format is a format mainly used by AVS/Express. Compared with the classic UCD format it can contain time dependent data.

(optional) bathymetry as a surface (2D) ( file of type ucd or tecplot; if a time dependent bathymetry is given, this file will have time dependent values)
(optional) bathymetry as a spatial body (3D) ( file of type ucd or tecplot)
(optional) hydrological data as a surface (2D physical measures) ( file of type ucd or tecplot )
(optional) hydrological data as a spatial body (3D physical measures) ( file of type ucd or tecplot )
(optional) lineprinter file containing useful information related to program execution (filetype io_volume.sdr);
