In the <general> section the following options can be specified:
Keyword | Value | Description |
|
|---|---|---|---|
general | FLOW, WAQ, PART, WAVE | String indicating the type of Delft3D module | |
runId |
| String used to identify the template input file. Relevant input files for each Delft3D module are listed below. | |
workDir |
| Directory where the computational models will run | |
modelDir |
| Directory containing the template files (static model input). These files are copied to the workDir by the model adapter prior to running a simulation. |
|
auxiliaryGridFile |
| Name of the file with the auxiliary grid for curvilinear meteorological forcing. | |
fieldFileFormat |
| Control the format of the meteo and other field files (Check) |
|
outputTimeSeriesInOneFile |
| Copies all output timeseries to one output XML file if true. (Check) | |
geoDatum |
| Indication of the coordinate system used for the output XML files by the postAdapter (defaults to WGS-1984). | |
timeZone |
| Indication of the time zone used for the output XML files by the postAdapter (defaults to GMT). | |
online | MORPHOLOGY | Copies extra morphology files for the FLOW pre- and post-adapter |

Because Delft3D consists of several modules that can be used in different configurations, it is necessary to specify which module should be run (the keyword module). This module (either FLOW, WAQ, ECO, PART or WAVE) determines together with the string specified as the run-id (keyword runId) which files will be used (see the table below).
The keyword workDir indicates in which directory the computational programs will start and the keyword modelDir should refer to the directory containing the template files and the other (fixed) files that together make up the input for the computation.
See the XSD schema file for more background information.
With these four keywords the user should be able to define the characteristics of With these four keywords the user should be able to define the characteristics of most if not all runs of Delft3D modules.
Module | Template files | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
FLOW | <runid>.mdf | Master definition file |
WAQ, ECO | <runid>.inp | Main input file, the only file that is supposed to contain keywords for this module. |
PART | <runid>.inp | Like WAQ |
WAVE | <runid>.mdw | Pro memorie |
