I recently wrote on the forum's about my problem with my steering file:
www.opentelemac.org/index.php/kunena/19-...-keyword-error/46452

I've followed the recommendations replied that said to read the reference file which included the keywords for the computation. I tried this approach and I guess it worked (I'm a beginner to TOMAWAC and might not understand some terms). However, a different error has occurred.

Here are the files: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ocfqcn8o...bYESE1Fa?usp=sharing

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the error text, the image of the cmd is also in the drive:

ERROR: Error reported: failed to launch 'C:\Users\steve\OneDrive\Desktop\final shape\panay.cas_2025-03-21-22h24min39s\out_tomawac.exe' on SHAN
Error (2) The system cannot find the file specified.

- the name of the bathymetry file in the steering file is not the one you provided.
- the format of the bathymetry file is not correct (delete the header)
- put number of time step instead of number of breaking times steps
- put ABSCISSAE instead of ordinates (you specified 2 ordinates and no abscissae
- the format of the wind file is not correct, it should be seraphin or med. if you want to have your own format you have to write a fortran user to read it.

As for, the error you have on the jpeg error as christophe said you can't put a space in the path of your executable.

Steven Lima OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 8	Thank you for your helpful reply! I applied most of your recommendations. However, I am stuck with the last recommendation regarding the format of my wind file. I downloaded my wind file from era5 hourly data. Wherein I am able to download it in 2 file formats (Grib and Netcdf4). How can I convert either the grib or the netcdf4 file into selafin? Once again, many thanks! Best Regards!
