10.13. Database Import

Import for Two Non-Interacting Structures

This example shows import of databases for two non-interacting structures, from two different .HYD files. Note that Structure 1 in the current run, which is identified by the keyword FDR1, uses data from Structure 1 in AL_RUN1.HYD. Structure 2 in the current run, which is identified by the keyword FDR2, uses data from Structure 1 in AL_RUN3.HYD.

    06    FDR1
    06FILE          AL_RUN1.HYD
    06CSTR    1
    06CPDB
 END
    06    FDR2
    06FILE          AL_RUN3.HYD
    06CSTR    1
    06CPDB
 END

Import for Interacting Structures

When using the FILE / CSTR / CPDB data records to import a hydrodynamic database from a previous Aqwa-Line run, for a group of hydrodynamically interacting structures, it is only necessary to refer to the 1st structure in the group. Data for the other structures will be imported automatically. In the example below there are 5 structures, of which structures 2,3,4 form an interacting group. The data is imported from three different .HYD files.

    06    FDR1
    06FILE          AL_RUN1.HYD
    06CSTR    1
    06CPDB
 END
    06    FDR2
    06FILE          AL_RUN2.HYD
    06CSTR    1
    06CPDB
 END
    06    FDR5
    06FILE          AL_RUN3.HYD
    06CSTR    1
    06CPDB
 END
    06    FINI

Note:  A FINI data record is required. This is because the program is expecting to read 5 FDR* data records and there are only three.
