SMS:ADH Hot Start File
The hot start file is mandatory and contains initial conditions for each node of a mesh. ADH allows for the specification of depth and velocity hydrodynamics, and sediment concentration and displacement datasets. The model requires at least depth initial conditions for hydrodynamics, and non-specified conditions will be defaulted to values of zeros (0.0).
ADH Hot Start (*.hot) File
The *.hot file format is actually the same as the ASCII dataset Files (*.dat) but necessitates the special extension since it should only contain following specifically named datasets:
| Name | Initial Condition |
|---|---|
| "ioh" or "IOH" | Depth |
| "iov" or "IOV" | Velocity |
| "ioc" or "IOC" | Sediment concentration (SMS currently does not support this) |
| "iod" or "IOD" | Sediment displacement (SMS currently does not support this) |
| Name | Initial Condition |
| "ioh" or "IOH" | Depth |
| "iov" or "IOV" | Velocity |
SMS will recognize and read in a hot start file if the dataset definition matches the current mesh definition (number of nodes and elements) and the ADH is the active model (other models also use a *.hot extension). Valid datasets with the above names are added to a locked "
ADH Hot Start" folder in the Project Explorer. The folder and datasets can not be deleted or renamed from the tree. See Hot Start Initial Conditions for interface information.
