GFGEN (Geometry File GENerator) converts ASCII geometry into binary format and does data checking along the way. GFGEN is capable of doing the following:
- Reading node and element data and constructing a finite element computational mesh for use by other programs in the TABS-MD modeling system.
- Identifying errors and potential errors in the constructed mesh.
- Renumbering the mesh, omitting unused nodes and/or element numbers.
- Fitting curved element sides to land boundaries and interior element sides may be specified.
- Developing an elemental solution order that permits the most efficient operation of models using the mesh.
- Providing a nodal cross reference and statistics summary.
- Creating a binary data file that contains the mesh information and geometry in a format suitable for use by other TABS-MD programs.
- Creating a device independent DISSPLA meta file of one to five mesh characteristics (mesh, node and element numbers, material types, and bathymetric assignments).
Using the Model / Practical Notes
- The TABS models are built to expire after a set date. The latest version can be downloaded from the Software Updates section of the Aquaveo website.
