The Check/Fix Levee Crest Elevations tool checks and adjusts the Z Crest attributes of ADCIRC levee boundaries (in an ADCIRC BC coverage) against a set of elevation lines (check lines) contained in specified Map module coverage.

Input Parameters

  • Input ADCIRC Boundary Conditions coverage – Coverage containing the arcs which represent the levees to be checked. A pair of arcs are associated with a levee crest curve.
    Note:' When an ADCIRC simulation is loaded from model native files a set of mapped boundary conditions is created on the simulation. This must be converted to a coverage (right-click on the mapped boundary condition object) to create the arcs that are used in this tool.
  • Domain Grid – The 2DMesh of the ADCIRC domain.
    Note: The tool will actually work with a UGrid or a 2DMesh. ADCIRC simulations currently take 2DMesh objects.
  • Input check geometry coverage – Coverage containing the arcs which define the "correct" elevation. This may be a coverage of any type. Typically this coverage comes from a shapefile or CAD file of measured or designed levee crests.
  • TauZ (allowable levee elevation error threshold) – This is the allowable error between the crest elevation defined in the ADCIRC BC file and the check elevation. Typically this would be 0.0.

Output Parameters

  • Output coverage – The name to assign the output ADCIRC Boundary Conditions coverage with adjusted levee crests.


Map Viewer

The Map Viewer contains a map view of all the levee arcs currently being displayed in the levee results table. The currently selected levee pair in the levee results table is drawn with solid lines in the map viewer and all other levees are drawn with dashed lines. Point markers are drawn in the middle of the levee at 20% intervals that match the parametric length ticks on the x-axis of the levee result plot.

Example of the Map Viewer

A marker is displayed in the middle of each levee that displays a short description of the levee pair when clicked on.

The color of the levee arcs is determined by check status.

The zoom level can be manually adjusted with the control in the top left of the dialog.

Map Viewer Zoom controls

The layer control in the top right of the dialog can be used to switch between the “ESRI Street Map” and “ESRI World Imagery” background map layers.

Map Viewer background image controls

The bottom left corner of the dialog contains a legend for the possible levee check status colors.
