Significance of the File

contains general input data for the program I Notice: In addition to this file the dictionary-file volume_dico.dat is automatically read. It is present in directory $PROGHOME/dic .

File-Contents (in Catchwords)

block Input_Files contains input files, mostly results of a hydronumerical model

grid name and type
(optional) file with depth values of the horizontal layers and file type; may be overruled by the metadata of the dataset
(optional) synoptical 2D dataset and file type; maximum are two files
(optional) synoptical 3D dataset and file type; maximum are two files

(optional) block Bathymetry_Output_Files contains output files for the bathymetry

(optional) 2D bathymetry as a surface and file type; since io_volume v. 3.1 this file can contain dynamic depth data
(optional) 3D bathymetry as a spatial object and file type; one of the called options 2D or 3D must be given

(optional) block Hydro_Output_Files contains output files for the hydronumerical datasets

(optional) synoptical 2D dataset and file type
(optional) synoptical 3D dataset and file type
start date and time
end date and time
time interval
(optional) setting a null value; the follow-up program Tecplot offers the blanking feature, meaning that nodes with the null value, e.g. -999., are not displayed
name of output 2D measures
(optional) name of output 3D measures

(optional) block ETC contains further information

(optional) logical switch, whether output objects should be tested on plausibility
