4 - 25   Telemac Data Loader

The Telemac Data Loader reads Telemac SERAFIN- and SERAFIND-formatted (.slf, .srf, .sel or .res) and boundary (.cli or .conlim) files. You may select multiple SERAFIN and SERAFIND files, but only a single boundary file for a single load.

To load a boundary file, you must either load it along with one or more SERAFIN[D] files, or else append it to an existing Telemac data set. It does not include its own X or Y variables, but rather contains references to node numbers in a corresponding SERAFIN[D] file. It is loaded as a single I-ordered zone. If loaded along with one or more SERAFIN[D] files, the boundary zone's X and Y values will be extracted from the first zone of the first SERAFIN[D] file. If appended to existing data, the boundary zone's X and Y values will be extracted from the first zone of the data set.

Telemac solution (SERAFIN) files may be successfully interactively loaded with the Telemac loader even if the file suffix (.slf, .srf, .sel or .res) has been stripped off. However, boundary files must have extension (.cli or .conlim) in order to load.

SERAFIN[D] files contain variable names, which are used for the resulting data set variables. Boundary files contain no variable names, and add the following variables (unless noted below, refer to Telemac documentation for their meaning):

BC-h: The boundary condition code for depth (LIHBOR)

BC-u: The boundary condition code for u (LIUBOR)

BC-v: The boundary condition code for v (LIVBOR)

BC-Qs: The boundary condition code for tracer (LITBOR)

BC-open: Indicator for closed or open boundary-0 for closed, 1 for open.
