open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello everybody,

I have two questions about BK.

1. How could I know the area of any cell belonging to my mesh? Is it possible?

2. I have an outline from other program (MIKE21), the data is in MIKE format, this allows with two more columns (a third one and a fourth one) specify when an outline ends and starts another one. In this case, I have an outline of a lake and several islands into this lake. The data I have is not read by the same way that MIKE does it. I understand I am talking about two different programs. However, I was wondering whether Bluekenue also have the option of reading a lake and islands (as in this case) from the same outline file or this is not possible. (I tried with the four columns and does not work, as expected).

Please find attached the outline file above mentioned (the original one).
Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
José Andrés.

Hello José

1 - If you mean the area of the element of the mesh, just double-click the element to select it. A window will open displaying the number of the element, its area and the nodes that make it up.
Also you can use this.

2 - Once a friend who also uses MIKE21 gave me an outline in this format, so I made a script in Matlab to save it in a format BlueKenue can read. See attachments.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Phelype

P.S.: Renamed the files with .cas extension to be able to upload.

Hello Phelype,

That is exactly what I meant. I already tried that, but I do not know why it does not work. Maybe some issue with the version of BK I have installed, I will try with another one. However, that should be the way to do it.

About the script, it is excellent, that is exactly what I wanted. I will try it. If I have any problem with it, I will make you know.

Thanks a lot.

Hi
It seems to me it exist a menu or an option to enable/disable the selection/display of information on mesh...
But i don't remember where ...

Hope this helps

Hi all,

If element selection is not working then check the state of the
"Edit->T3 Mesh->Options->Select Nodes Only" switch.

Also, element selection doesn't work on multiframe objects.

Hope this helps... Martin

Hello everyone

To follow up on Jose's question about area, is there a way to know area for all the elements at once (either in a table or graphically) ?

Let's say that thanks to analyze Mesh, you know that your smallest element is 0.004 m2 and you want to find that one.
Is it possible to automatically find this element, without clicking on every element or exporting the mesh to GIS ? Could a variable Cell_area be added into the mesh or a table and then displayed ? It is obviously computed somehow since it can be displayed by double clicking on the mesh.

thanks for your help and have a great day.
