issue about control file
Closed this issue · 12 comments
Hi,
I use this program recently to do my work, and i have 2 questions about the control file.
The first is that whats the meaning of the '2.D0', i see the control file in test case, and i found that like the numer of the water depth, it writes '2.D0', whats the meaing of the D?
The second is that whats the meaning of 2 options 'Reference_body_length' and 'Wave_diffrac_solution', and i dont see any info in the manual,
Thank you very much for the help.
Hi,
i also want to know how can i get the free surface elevation and pressure data because the out file seems dont include the free surface.
The first is that whats the meaning of the '2.D0', i see the control file in test case, and i found that like the numer of the water depth, it writes '2.D0', whats the meaing of the D?
I think I can easily answer this one: this is Fortran's scientific notation for double precision number. You can think of it as equivalent to the more common "E notation" 2.e0.
Reference_body_length

I will skip the first question as Matthieu has already answered it. 'Reference_body_length' refers to the scale length of the body you calculated for, equivalent to ULEN in the Wamit gdf file. 'Wave_diffrac_solution' is explained in the following publication: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355585903_Introduction_of_the_Open-Source_Boundary_Element_Method_Solver_HAMS_to_the_Ocean_Renewable_Energy_Community

Free surface elevation and the hydrodynamic pressure are equivalent in nondimensional value at the free surface.

Thank you for the help. It helps me a lot.
THank you again!

Hi, How can i see the elevation data? Which file is the result in the output? It seems can not see it in the BEMrosetta
You can find the data in the *.6p file.
You can find the data in the *.6p file.
Thank you so much for your reply!
Dear professor, sorry to bother you again,
i create a file that calculate the elevation and when i calculate this in 3 different frequency, the result is this
but, when i just calculate one frequency, it turns that
I dont know whats the meanting of this
while it doesnt exeist in the result with one frequency.
Sorry to bother you again and thank you vert much!
Hi,
when i run the program, it will produce a file called ErrorCheck.txt in the output file, but why the rotation center is different from what i set in the control file .
For example, i set the 'Reference_body_center -0.356 0.000 0.000' in the control file, and in the hydrostatic.in, the rotation center is -0.356 0.000 0.000 too, but in the ErrorCheck.txt, it turns out
'The rotation center is input as (please confirm if it is correct):
0.000 0.356 0.000'

Regarding the Wamit-format output, please refer to the user manual of Wamit: https://www.wamit.com/manual.htm

Thanks for reporting. The problem has been corrected.
