$bound section

[owr7]

Hello,
I have a question about the $bound section:
when I try to use the next code in the .str file:
$bound1
ibtyp = 4
kbound = 200 (arbitrary)
boundn = 'flow_file'
zfact = 50
$end
and the 'flow_file' is:
0 1
(I need const)
The velocity output at the node 200 doesn't change as a result of the boundary condition

when I use ibtyp = 3
I get changes but I don't understand the file structure:
Only two columns are allowed: time and value.
But what about direction? or x-y commponents?
when I try to enter more then one value I get error
Hope you can help me with this problem
thanks,
Mordehai

ibtyp=4 has been introduced a long time ago and I guess it is not supported anymore. So I would not rely on it. With ibtyp=3 you specify discharge (m**3/s). There is no direction. If you need a directional input at the border you could model a short part of a river which would then give a directional water input. Inside the domain this is clearly not possible. Georg
