Hello all,
Here is a quick description of a feature in Blue Kenue that I'm sure not all are aware of.
CONLIM file generator/editor Overview
This is documented in the manual in section 2.3
The boundary conditions/conlim editor consists of 2 objects in the WorkSpace.
1. a special "BC" mesh object, that includes boundary segment definitions
and provides the geometry for visualization and editing. This object can
be saved as a "*.bc2" file and contains all the required information to
generate a conlim file. This is an ASCII file and theoreticaly could be
edited by hand but I don't recommend it.
2. a table object (as child of the BC object), that contains the resultant
conlim data. This object can be saved as a "*.cli" file for use with Telemac2D.
Procedure
To create a new Boundary Conditions (BC) object you first have to have a mesh loaded in the workspace.
- Create a new Boundary Conditions (BC) object using
"File->New->Boundary Conditions (Conlim)..."
- you will be presented with a list of mesh objects (t3s) currently loaded
in the workspace.
- select the desired mesh and click OK.
- a default BC object and conlim table will be created with all boundaries
set to "Closed boundary (wall)"
(LIHBOR,LIUBOR and LIVBOR set to 222)
- Drag the Boundary Conditions (BC) object into a 2D view. you will see your
mesh in light grey with all shorelines drawn as Brown "lines and points".
To Create a new boundary segment:
- select a boundary node <double-click> that will be one end of the new segment.
NOTE: only the shoreline nodes of the BC object are selectable.
- hold down the <shift> key and <double-click> to select the second end node of your desired boundary segment. (the boundary segment will be drawn in magenta)
- <right-click> to bring up the context menu and select "Add Boundary Segment"
(this action will launch the "Boundary Segment Editor")
- give the boundary a name (optional)
- select the desired Boundary Code from the first drop down.
(this sets LIHBOR,LIUBOR and LIVBOR)
- select a desired Tracer Code from the first drop down. (this sets LITBOR)
- set the desired values of (HBOR,UBOR,VBOR,AUBOR,TBOR,ATBOR,BTOR) in the
table.
- you can edit individual values by clicking on the table.
- you can set all values of a column at once by either clicking on the
column header or <right-click> on the table.
- Selecting a "Custom" boundary code will allow you to specify a
"non-standard" boundary condition. (as a 3 digit number).
- now select the "OK" button. Your new Boundary segment is now drawn
along with the mesh in the view using colours and point styles as follows:
boundary type Code colour pointStyle
Closed boundary (wall) 222 brown square
Open boundary with prescribed Q 455 blue triangle
Open boundary with prescribed H 544 green inverted triangle
Open boundary with prescribed Q and H 555 cyan diamond
Open boundary with prescribed UV 466 red half filled square
Open boundary with incident Waves 111 orange circle
Custom ??? black star
To Edit an existing boundary segment:
- Select the boundary via <double-click> on one of the nodes,
- <right-click> to bring up the context menu and select "Edit Boundary Segment"
(this action will launch the "Boundary Segment Editor")
- NOTE: setting the code of an existing boundary to "Closed boundary (wall)"
(222) effectively deletes this boundary.
To Delete an existing boundary segment
- Select the boundary via <double-click> on one of the nodes,
- <right-click> to bring up the context menu and select "Delete Boundary Segment"
To View the whole conlim table
- select the child table in the workspace,
- <right-click> to bring up the context menu and select "View as Table"
To Save the conlim table
- select the child table in the workspace,
- use "File->Save" or "File->SaveAs"
To Save the Boundary Conditions object
- select the BC mesh object in the workspace,
- use "File->Save" or "File->Save Copy As"
