CreateVerticalResolution

PROGRAM CREATEVERTICALRESOLUTION.EXE

Task performed:

Calculates vertical resolution for 3D modelling based on a vertical profile for a property, by considering the same property change with depth for all layers.

Allows the user to choose between providing the desired layer number or the desired property change.

Main features:

- interaction with input file is performed through a nomfich file (input file indicated in IN_MODEL; reference path is indicated in ROOT_SRT);

- input file:

- path to the file with property profile:

PROFILEFILENAME : ...

- path to the output geometry file:

OUTPUTFILENAME : ...

- vertical domain type intended (not mandatory):

DOMAIN_TYPE : ... (only current option and default is CARTESIAN)

- maximum bathymetry depth:

MAXIMUMDEPTH : ...

- required property change per layer (specified instead of LAYERS keyword)

PROPERTY_STEP : ...

- required number of layers (specified instead of PROPERTY_STEP keyword)

LAYERS : ...

(mandatory to provide one of LAYERS or PROPERTY_STEP)

- maximum depth for surface layer (not mandatory, used only if PROPERTY_STEP):

MAXDEPTH_SURFACE : ... (default is 100.0m)

- maximum depth for bottom layer (not mandatory, used only if PROPERTY_STEP):

MAXDEPTH_BOTTOM : ... (default is 500.0m)

- profile file:

- block of profile depths (from lower depth to higher depth):

<BeginDepth> ... <EndDepth>

- block of profile values (from lower depth to higher depth):

<BeginProfileValues> ... <EndProfileValues>

Some notes:

- in case the surface layer exceeds the maximum depth for surface layer for PROPERTY_STEP option the layer is divided till sublayers have depth smaller than maximum depth; the surface layer depth is for the check added to the first profile depth (the one most near surface);

- if maximum depth of bathymetry exceeds the deeper profile depth then exceeding depth is considered in the last layer (the one most in bottom);

- in case the bottom layer exceeds the maximum depth for bottom layer for PROPERTY_STEP option the layer is divided till sublayers have depth smaller than maximum depth.
