open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi,

I need to develop a new type of hydraulic structure (somthing like a topographic weir) in Telemac2D to store data that would be accessed anywhere in the code.

The better way, I think, would be to create a new Fortran derived data type.
Is there a good way to manage that ?
I think a good practice would be :
- Creation of a new derived type : ?
- Declaration of new variable : in declaration-telemac2d
- Allocation and initialization of variables : in point_telemac2d

Can anybody tell me where to declare a new derived type ?

Have a good day and thanks to all users and moderators of this forum that make Telemac a very lively program...

Best regards,

Fabien

Hello Fabien,

First, be sure that you cannot get what you want with current features of TELEMAC.

Otherwise, I think you are now mature enough to read the developer guide. :)
available in
$HOMETEL/documentation/Misc/developer_guide
or
wiki.opentelemac.org/doku.php?id=documentation_v8p1r1 in Miscellaneous Manuals (bottom of the page).

See the BIEF_DEF module in sources/utils/bief and first advice, have a look at weirs, breaches or culverts features which could help you.

Good luck,

Chi-Tuan
