Data format:

One line with a single value

IGR STATVAR

Status :

Optional

Purpose :

To define time-varying temperature, pressure and internal fluid weight profiles along a line (or group of elements).

Details :

Parameter	Description
IGR	identification number of the group of elements to which the temperature profile defined in the ASCII file will apply. The group of elements must have been previously defined with the RISER or GROUP keyword.
STATVAR	equal to 1 to request that the temperature variation is a static variation, 0 otherwise. If a static variation is used, the file associated with the keyword gives the temperature as a function of quasi-static step instead of time steps.

filename.dat

An ASCII file containing the temperature profile, the dynamic pressure profile and the dynamic weight variation as a function of the curvilinear abscissa in increasing order. The profile may vary in time. At each curvilinear coordinate and time, the temperature is provided. The first coordinate must be 0 and the last coordinate larger than the length of the pipe. The file format is as follows :

  0 (for quasi-static)    Curv_Abs_1    Temp_1    Pressure_1    Weight_1
  0 (for quasi-static)    Curv_Abs_2    Temp_2    Pressure_2    Weight_2
  ...    ...  ...    ...
  ...

  0 (for quasi-static)    Curv_Abs_n    Temp_n    Pressure_n    Weight_n
  Time_1    Curv_Abs_1    Temp_1_1    Pressure_1_1    Weight_1_1
  Time_1    Curv_Abs_2    Temp_1_2    Pressure_1_2    Weight_1_2
  ...   ...   ...  ...
  ...
  Time_1    Curv_Abs_n    Temp_1_n    Pressure_1_n    Weight_1_n
  Time_2    Curv_Abs_1    Temp_2_1    Pressure_2_1    Weight_2_1
  Time_2    Curv_Abs_2    Temp_2_2    Pressure_2_2    Weight_2_2
  ...   ...   ...  ...
  ...
  Time_2    Curv_Abs_n    Temp_2_n    Pressure_2_n    Weight_2_n
  ...
  ...
  Time_m    Curv_Abs_1    Temp_m_1    Pressure_m_1    Weight_m_1
  Time_m    Curv_Abs_2    Temp_m_2    Pressure_m_2    Weight_m_2
  ...   ...   ...  ...
  ...
  Time_m    Curv_Abs_n    Temp_m_n    Pressure_m_n    Weight_m_n

Warning

The temperature must be given in degrees C

The pressure corresponds to the additional pressure (the dynamic variation) expressed in Pa. This value may be negative.

The weight corresponds to the additional weight (the dynamic variation) expressed in N/m. This value may be negative.
