Hivel2D users manual
3. At this point HIVEL2D is launched in a new window, prompting the user to type the
name of the super file. Once the super file name is typed, HIVEL2D opens the file and
begins the simulation
Launching HIVEL2D from the Command Prompt
HIVEL2D can be run from DOS/UNIX command prompt using the following
procedure:
1. Make sure you have saved the simulation using the Save Simulation command.
2. Open a DOS/UNIX shell (and the appropriate directory) and type the HIVEL2D
executable.
3. HIVEl2D is launched, prompting the user to type the name of the super file. Once the
super file name is typed, HIVEL2D opens the file and begins the simulation.
Output Files
Two ASCII solution files (Appendix A for file formats) are generated as the model
output. The Data Browser command from the Data menu can be used to Import the
solution files for viewing. The output file contains the following:
a. The number of time-steps saved, number of elements, and number of nodes.
b. The time.
c. Velocity components of u and v, and water-surface elevation for each node.
Note: these are repeated for each time-step that was output.
The number of time-steps saved is determined by the request in the hydrodynamic input
file for calculated time-steps and NRVL (the interval to save time-steps to this file). This
file can get quite large, so assign NRVL with discretion.
