How to IMPORT KINEMatics from file

1. Generate kinematics

  • The easy solution is to run a Riflex model and export the time series to a binary file

  • Note: The wave kinematic can be exported to both ascii and binary, however only read from binary.

2. Generated files

  • Key_<*>_wavkin.txt

  • <*>_wavkin.bin

3. Import kinematics

  • Add the name of the kinematic time series file (binary-format)

  • Time step is in column 2, see key-file

  • Total number of columns in the file, can be found in the end of the key-file:

    • Note that the total number of columns includes the column with the time step, and the two column for FORTRAN specific data

4. Import kinematics cont.

  • Use column number exactly as given in the key file

  • Column number for the first wave kinematics time series for this node

5. Import kinematics cont.

  • To add the kinematic for a node, the following input is required

    • LineID

    • Segment number on given line

    • Local node number on given segment

    • Column number for the first wave kinematics time series for this node

    • Note that only the first column is needed

6. Relation between local node and global node number

  • Check the stamod.res file

  • Look for MAIN FEM-data

  • Example:

  • Using import of wave kinematics will replace generated kinematics at the node

  • At nodes where no kinematics is generated, interpolation is applied
