*OUTWAVE

Data format:

One or several lines with 4 parameters each, as follows:

INO X Y Z

Status :

Optional

Purpose :

Adding the *OUTWAVE keywords creates a text file containing wave kinematics results specified at a certain location. These include wave elevation, wave particle velocity components , wave particle acceleration components and pressure, function of time.

Details :

Parameter Description
INO Node number at which the wave characteristics are computed. If INO==0, a constant reference position is used given by its global coordinates.
X X global coordinate of the reference point
Y Y global coordinate of the reference point
Z Z global coordinate of the reference point

Several lines can be entered. Each line leads to a file tswave_000.txt (the number is the line number). Each file has 8 columns :

- Time(s);

- Elev.(m);

- Vel.X(m/s);

- Vel.Y(m/s);

- Vel.Z(m/s);

- Acc.X(m/s2);

- Acc.Y(m/s2);

- Acc.Z (m/s2)

- Pressure (Pa)
