open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

I want to add the rainfall in the simulation as the input.
I search the manual, there are some key words:

1. "RAIN OR EVAPORATION"
2. "RAIN OR EVAPORATION IN MM PER DAY"

I put the "RAIN OR EVAPORATION" equal to YES and "RAIN OR EVAPORATION IN MM PER DAY" equal to 86400000000,

Also I set the "OPTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF TIDAL FLATS" equal to 1

And I gave the intial depth as 0.00001

But there is no rainfall in my simulation, so does anyone could help me to let me know where is my mistake?

Thanks a lot.

Hello

Are you sure about the quantity of rain you've added ( 86400000000 mm/day). This means that you will add 86.4 billion cubic meters of water at each square meter of your domain !!!
I have to verify the type of the variable used for rain (Integer or double). In the case of a use of an integer, the value you've introduced is bigger than the maximal integer handled by fortran (Huge, for a 4-byte integers) this could explain why can't see anything.
Verify your values and it should work.

With my best regards

Thanks,

I changed the rainfall to 1000, now it works. I'm waiting for the simulation finish.
