open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello there,

I have just installed openTELEMAC v6p2 and got the graphical interface (FUDAA).
But, as a newcomer willing to model shallow water waves with Telemac2D (for my MSc thesis), it seems that I cannot go anywhere from there.

From the manuals I understood that I need a steering file (managed to find one from the TOMAWAC manual, so at least I know what does it look like), a geometry file and a boundary file. But the manuals don't give any examples, nor there are any test files to check if the program is correctly working in my system.

So, in this respect, I have two questions:

1. How can I generate a geometry, bathymetry or boundary condition file?

2. In order to do a tsunami modeling in 2D, do I need some additional files other than these (+ the steering file)?

Thanks in advance for your help. I think my main problem is the lack of extensive tutorial for the newcomer, before all.

Kindest regards,

Gorkem

Start with downloading the validation test cases which are available on the repository.
You will have a lot of example with all required files.

Thank you very much for your time and help. I will try to run these first.

By the way, a detailed tutorial would still be very helpful to. Are there any? As far as I can see, the topics discussed in the forum indicate that many users are far, far advanced... :)

Kind regards,

Sivri

Hello

To start with the validation cases, you can use the validation document (Home/Validation/VALIDATION CASES/Validation Manual TELEMAC-2D.pdf) which gives you a complete description of each case.
Moreover, you can find in Home/Manuals/MANUALS/TELEMAC-2D; a user manual and a reference manual that helps you to understand all the keywords used and that explain the best way to manage data and files when preparing and running a simulation with Telemac-2D.

I hope that this can help you.
My best regards
