Two Dimensional Elements
The sediment transport model has always supported the traditional two dimensional
6-noded isoperimetric triangle and 8-noded isoperimetric quadrilateral elements.
These are the same types of elements supported by RMA2.
However, the 2D off-channel storage features within RMA2 are not fully supported
in SED2D WES. There is no concentration book-keeping in the off-channel storage
area in the sediment model.
