*CURPROF

Data format:

An arbitrary number of lines with up to 20 values each as follows. If the total number of parameters exceeds 20, use the & character as carriage return before getting to the next line.

ZCUR(1) ZCUR(2) ZCUR(3) ... ZCUR(20) &
ZCUR(21) ZCUR(22) ZCUR(23) ... ZCUR(NZCUR)

Status:

Optional

Purpose:

Selects ordinates for further current profile input

Restriction:

If present , this keyword must precede *CURRENT

Details :

Parameter	Description
ZCUR(I)	Z-position number (I) where current velocities will be defined by the keyword *CURRENT. ZCUR(1) must be equal to 0. ZCUR(I) is always negative.

Note

NZCUR is limited to MAXNOE ZCUR(1) must always be zero (water surface). Other values are in decreasing order. A uniform velocity VCUR(I,NZCUR) (see *CURRENT) will be applied to the nodes below ZCUR(NZCUR) The current is linearly interpolated between given depths.

Example :

See figure a) of *CURRENT

*CURPROF 0. -10. -20. -50. -80.

This sets the Z-positions at which the current in *CURRENT will be defined.
