UTILITIES
This version of SED2D is designed to work with the SMS Graphical User Interface. If you are using FastTABS you will
need to convert the binary "concentration/delbed" file to a different format in order to view your results within
FastTABS. A utility program call "v12_2_ft.exe" has been developed to accomplish this. This utility program will yield
a solution file that FastTABS recognizes as an RMA4 file, where
concentration 1 = suspended sediment concentration (ppt),
concentration 2 = cumulative bed elevation change (feet),
concentration 3 = bed shear stress (kg/ m sec2).
To run the conversion program, simply type "v12_2_ft.exe<cr>", then answer the questions from the screen. If you are
using SMS you can view the "concentration/delbed" file generated by SED2D directly from within SMS.
However, note that SMS will convert the bed change units to be the same as specified in the geometry file (SI card). The
program v12_2_ft.exe converts from meters to feet, regardless of units.
