open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello everyone,

Im quite new to the telemac system. I am trying to simulate tidal currents using the OSU-TPXO solution. the problem is that the geometry model is built in a national lambert grid (other than french ones) and I dont know how to convert to a system adequate to the one used by TPXO.

Many thanks

Hi
The easiest way is to convert your model to a coordinate system already available in telemac.
If you're motivated, you could extend the capacities of Telemac by adding your own coordinate system but it needs some fortran developements...

Regards

Hello again,
Now that I work with the WGS84 datum, the model isn't working. I have read somewhere on the forum that it doenst function quite well withe the lat/long. What do U guys suggest ?

I guess it's a matter of version,

I worked with the cartesian coordinates in the UTM projection and it worked fine.
