Point Input File

The point file contains information for individual points along links. Point data for all links is included in a single file. It's best to end each line with a slash (/). There are two options for specifying the points for a link.

Individual Point Format (Link Input Option=1)

Lines for the points of a single link should be grouped together in the file, but do not need to be in order.

Field Type Description Typical Units
1 int Link identifier
2 int Point index
3 real Point location feet, mile
3 int Cross-section identifier
4 real Thalweg elevation feet
5 real Manning's roughness coefficient
6 real Longitudinal dispersion coefficient ft2/s
7 real Surface transfer coefficient

The point index is ignored and computed internally. It is assumed the points are ordered correctly and the correct number are in the file. Points should be listed from upstream to downstream. Location units will depend on the configuration units options. The surface transfer coefficient is no longer used and can be omitted if a / is appended to the line.

Uniform Point Format (Link Input Option=2)

Field Type Description Typical Units
1 int Link identifier
2 real Length feet, mile
3 real Upstream elevation feet
4 real Downstream elevation feet
5 int Cross-section identifier
5 real Manning's roughness coefficient
6 real Longitudinal dispersion coefficient ft2/s
7 real Surface transfer coefficient
