Version v6p3 released
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 29 August 2013 14:07
The v6p3 version is officially released today.
New functionalities
Some of the key new features of this version are:
- Internal coupling waves-currents and sediment transport;
- TOMAWAC is now fully compatible with parallel processing;
- Drogues or floating bodies now work in parallel in TELEMAC-2D and 3D.
Many other new features are available, for the full set of changes since v6p2 see the feature log.
New module
The new DREDGESIM module (now called NESTOR) has been integrated in the system. DREGESIM has been developed by the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich on behalf of BAW, and as its name indicates, is used for modelling of dredging.
A description of all available modules is provided on this page.
Automatic installer
In order to help with the installation of the system, we have created an automatic installer for Windows that will install the TELEMAC system and all the other required software (compiler, python, svn...), and configure the whole. The installer now automatically installs the system in parralel. A version for Linux is planned for the future
New code structure
We have modified the structure of the former TELEMAC system to help with the coming merge with the MASCARET system. It also follows structures of other known open source software, and makes the tree more logical and easier to understand. You can find details on the TELEMAC source code structure on the source code wiki page.
Updated release policy
Rather than only creating a yearly tag "v6p3" (read-only snapshot of the development trunk), we have created a branch called "v6p3", which allows us to fix bugs over its life span (if there are any). As a result, the branch "v6p3" is a moving target.
For users who need a fixed release, particularly for quality control procedures in consultancy studies, we will also be creating tags "v6p3r0" (release 0), "v6p3r1" (release 1) etc., to keep up with the branch "v6p3". These tags will be created on a monthly basis or as necessary depending on the number of changes made to the branch "v6p3". Finally, you will note that the first (v6p3r0) was release early August and that following the feedback of a few enthusiasts, we have now created v6p3r1. This tag is our stable version for v6p3.
New version 6.2

- Published on Thursday, 25 October 2012 15:35
Version 6.2 of the TELEMAC system is now available. Here is a preview of the novelties of this important new release:
- Tidal boundary conditions have been extended to Telemac-3D, and to model TPXO.
- Open boundary conditions with Thompson method has been extended to Telemac-3D.
- A full port-folio of test-cases for Artemis.
- New possibilities of boundary conditions in Sisyphe, and improved mass-balance information, plus a new concept for sediment layers.
- A more efficient module for the method of characteristics in parallel.
- In Telemac-2D: tracer decay, culverts and weirs simplified, breaches now available, new finite volumes algorithms, rain and evaporation, Okada model for generating tsunamis...
All test cases have been sucessfully run on several platforms: Windows, Linux, Unix, and with several compilers: Intel, gfortran, g95, Nag, HP, etc.
The Python scripts have been largely extended.
You may also refer to the feature log page to have more insight on the novelties.
Last but not least: the 1D MASCARET is now also available for download on this site. The two codes will be fully merged on the SVN repository by the next release. Issues, feedback and suggestions can be discussed in the MASCARET forum.
We thank all the developers who contributed developments, all users who made constructive remarks, and we hope you will enjoy this new version.
The summer will be hot

Several exiting developments will take place this summer on openTELEMAC.org.
Firstly, the underlying website software will be updated to a more modern version. This will allow us to propose many more functionalities in the future. It will also be the opportunity to modernise the website look and feel, and make key information more readily available. We will try to minimise the disruption to the website, but it is likely that the forum will be shutdown during a short period (plenty of warning will be given).
The summer will also be the time of the new release of TELEMAC: version 6.2. As usual this will come with new functionalities and validation cases, but also for the first time a 1D surface model will be included: MASCARET. The suite of solvers will therefore be called TELEMAC-MASCARET. You will be able to learn more about MASCARET during the user conference in October.
Even more developments are planned later in the year, this will be detailed in due course. Stay tuned.
