The basic of the program is the Surface line.
The user has to create a surface line with ascending x-value from channel side of the embankment till the dike top at the polder side.
The riverside has to be on the left side as shown in the figure below.
D-FLOW SLIDE simplifies this The original surface line from as used in DAM or Ringtoets (WTI) and only use contains a whole set of this pointscharacteristics points. Flow Slide needs a subset.
Please enter your Surface line by using points B, C, D, G and J
So, thhe The following 5 characteristics points are obligated in D-FlowSlide with ascending increasing x-valuesvalue.
- Bottom river channel (B)
- Insert river channel (C)
- Dike toe at river (D)
- Dike top at river (G)
- Dike top at polder (J)
Input screen for the coordinates L and Z and the characteristic points
You may, of course add additional points to describe the real surface line.
By You can re-order the points, ascending or descending, by clicking on the table header L(enght) of Z(height level), you can only filter the points, but not order them.
You get the real order the point, as shown in the drawings, by "Ctrl + click"
The program checks on a a malformed surface.
