SED2D Binary Wave File Format
Format" on page 137.
Records 5 (vorticity arrays)
WAVE_HR, NSET, NPPW2, (WAVEHIT(k), k=1,NPPW2),
(WAVEDIR(k), k=1,NPPW2),(WAVEPER(k), k=1,NPPW2),
NEPW2_VOID, (IMAT_VOID(k),k=1,NE)
where
WAVE_HR
Wave time, in decimal hours
NSET
Number of nodal arrays to follow (NSET=3 for wave)
NPPW2
Number of nodes represented in the wave file
WAVEHIT
Array containing wave height results at each node
WAVEDIR
Array containing wave direction results at each node
WAVEPER
Array containing wave period results at each node
NEPW2_void
Number of elements represented (NEPW2=0 for wave)
IMAT_void
Array containing each elements material type assignment.
IMAT_void is read but not used.
Records 6 (through the Last record)
Continue reading simulation records in a loop until an end-of-file is reached
Note: The wave binary file is primarily used by advanced users. The file
format mimics the RMA4 solution file format to permit easy visualization by the
SMS graphical user interface. SMS will label the contents as constituents 1-3, but
they are actually the wave height, direction, period, respectively.
