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 forcingSee below. |
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 |
See the XSD schema file for more background information.With these
four keywords the user should be able to define the characteristics of most if not all runs of Delft3D modulesThe runId used specified in the <general> section is used by the preAdapter to determine which files to scan for placeholder keywords (see below).
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 |
Both Delft3D-FLOW and Delft3D-WAQ (and therefore Delft3D-ECO as well) require the name of a grid file (the keyword auxiliaryGridFile<auxiliaryGridFile>):
- Delft3D-FLOW requires the name of the file (*.grd) that defines the grid for the meteorological data. It is written in the header of the file with air pressure and so on.
- Delft3D-WAQ requires the name of the LGRID and CCO files, so that the segment function files can be written properly. This information is needed by the postadapter as well, in order to export the results on a grid. To avoid duplication, the information is given in the general section.

Section: <preAdapter>
The <preAdapter> section contains one keyword only, the name of the timeseries (found in the timeseries exported by Delft-FEWS) that is to be used as to determine the time frame of the simulation.
