Existing Sobek file format stores

  • Cross section definition
  • Cross section locations (on the branch)

A cross section definition can be used at more than one location.

Friction parameters are stored in friction.dat
friction is defined at

  • branches/branch locations (constant or Q/H dependent)
  • cross sections (different roughnes for each segment)

In new version of sobek only constant friction is supported. Q or H dependent friction does not appear to be in use frequently.

friction defined for structures, overland flow etc will currently not be imported.
