Full Equations (FEQ) Model for the Solution of the Full, Dynamic Equations of Motion for One-Dimensional Unsteady Flow in Open Channels and Through Control Structures

U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS REPORT 96-4240

13.11 Output Files Block--Output File Table


Update available for HECDSS support

Purpose: The information describing files to output flow or water-surface elevation at any node in the stream system is specified with this block. These files can later be used for input to another stream system with the Input Files Block (section 13.10). This block is always required and, if no files are output, a null block must be specified. The maximum number of point time series files output allowed in FEQ is specified in the parameter MNFOUT in the INCLUDE file ARSIZE.PRM (appendix 3). This number may be increased as necessary and FEQ recompiled.

Heading: One line of user-selected information. The suggested string is OUTPUT FILES.
LINE 1

Variables: HEAD

Format: A80

Example: UNIT BRAN NODE ITEM TYPE NAME

Explanation: This is a user-supplied heading for subsequent information.
LINE 2 (one for each Point Time-Series File (PTSF) required)

 Variables: UNIT, BRA, NODE, ITEM, TYPE, NAME

 Format: 3I5, 1X, A4, 1X, A4, 1X, A64

Explanation:

 The location and type of information output to create a PTSF are specified on this line.

UNIT is the Fortran unit number (see appendix 3) for the file. The block is terminated if the UNIT given is negative.
BRA is the branch number. NODE is the node number.

ITEM=FLOW for output of flow and ITEM=ELEV for output of water-surface elevation.

TYPE=PNT or TYPE=STAR: Specifies that instantaneous values are to be output (the only ones allowed).
NAME is the left-justified name of the file.

If an Output-File Table is not used in a FEQ simulation, a null table must be present (as in the Input-File Table).
