fredws	Hello, I'm a new user. Could you please show me some tutorial or guide for the very first step? I was looking for examples in the installation folder as well, but there was no examples in it and I don't know why. THank you so much for your help! CHeers!

Phelype OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 140 Thank you received: 64	Hello, There are certainly examples in the examples folder, unless the download did not finish properly. You can go to this page for directions on how to get the sources of telemac including the examples. Then you can start looking for tutorials here. The general recommendation is to start with the "TELEMAC-2D tutorial" in that folder. Hope this helps. Best regard, Phelype

fredws	Thank you for replying! I'm doing these steps. However, I cannot find telemac2d.exe in the baxter_tutorial. What can I do now? Do I have to create one on my own? It's quite confused because I have no idea how to do that.

Phelype OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 140 Thank you received: 64	Well, actually you don't use the .exe by hand. In the final pages of the tutorial (Section 5 - Running TELEMAC-2D Simulation) it explains how to start the simulation. You must call telemac from the command line using the python script "runcode.py telemac2d" or simply "telemac2d.py". That is, of course, after you have already create the input files for the simulation.

fredws	Well, so how to create the input files? is there any guide? As I read in the manual, there are tons of them, is that right?

Actually there aren't so many files to start a simulation. But since input files are mainly boundary conditions for your simulation, the more of them, the more realistic your results will be. But that's entirely up to you.

The absolute minimum for any TELEMAC-Mascaret model to run is:
- The mesh (.slf)
- The boundary file (.cli)
- The simulation parameters (.cas)
Without these the simulation won't even start. (Though I'm not sure about that for the Mascaret module).

(A brief description of some of the input files is given here)

On the creation of these files, I believe the process is thoroughly detailed in the Baxter tutorial, that explains a functional, yet simple, example. Beyond the input files and implementations become case-specific, so there are no tutorials available. But once you get the hang of the basics, further implementations are not so hard.

Best regards,

Phelype

fredws	Thank you so much for your help! I got the idea of where to start now and realized that I will have to read the manual more carefully. Once again, thank you so much! Best wishes, Fred.
