Hello,

I made this post because I have a problem with "Prescribed Tracers Values" for Liquid Boundaries.
Currently I have 9 Liquid Boundaries (1 for the sea and others for rivers). I'm using 3 tracers (Temperature, Salinity and Concentration of E.Coli).
My problem is that the line contains 82 characters in the steering file.
I already had this type of problem with the coordinates of sources but I found the way to solve it by defining them in the Lecdon subroutine.
I tried with 7 Liquid boundaries and it worked well so I'm pretty sure this is because of the number of characters.

Furthermore, when I tried with 7 Liquid Boundaries I was looking for the table where the Tracers values of my Liquid Boundary File are stored but I didn't find it. I did not also find which function collects information about my Tracers. I know that "READ_FIC_FRLIQ" function read my file and is used in Q3, SL3 and VIT3 functions but the tracers values shouldn't be collected here.

Here are my 2 problems.
Thank you for your attention.
Julien.

Hello Julien,

I'm not really sure if I'm tackling the issue here but you can always write more lines to (I believe) any keyword that needs a bunch of parameters in your steering file as long as you start them with a semicolon and no spaces inbetween lines of the same keyword and don't exceed the predefined max of those parameters.

As an example I once had a bunch of sources which made me format the steering file exactly this way:

ABSCISSAE OF SOURCES	   =825106.750;835321.125;849660.375
;854766.125;861162.4375;864480.625;858905.125;858597.375
;866351.125;871136.1875;876379.0625;891099.250;892734.625
;897153.9375;903053.750;923386.750

ORDINATES OF SOURCES	    =1281397.125;1288179.375
;1293914.500;1298007.375;1304469.750;1314443.375;1327975.625
;1330903.625;1338208.625;1347119.250;1372284.500;1378749.500
;1377705.625;1379261.375;1380006.125;1387408.500

WATER DISCHARGE OF SOURCES   =38.15;17.27;20.56;21.71;19.65
;14.82;18.39;73.35;13.70;11.32;44.38
;-230.94;-370.56;-130.84;-295.04;1626.30

Note that in this case the characters per line in the stereering case file didn't exceed the limit and for the 'sources' definition I stayed under the hardcoded max value predefined in the subroutine...

Hope it helps somehow,

José Díaz.

j.larraun	Hello José, Your solution is fine for me. Simulation is now running for all my Liquid Boundaries. I still don't know where the Tracer values of my Liquid Boundary file are stored. But since I have all my Liquid boundaries this is not a problem. Thank you José. Julien.
