Schematized Channel Editor

This editor widget is used to edit the control data and tabular data of the schematized channels. It works on any schematized channel data including, imported data, imported RAS data and digitized data. This data is written to the CHAN.DAT and CHANBANK.DAT files.

Segment Control

Select a channel segment to load the control data. The data is different for each channel segment.

Important

The sediment transport data will not be used unless the channel option is used in the SED.DAT file.

Note

See the Channel Modeling Guidelines (FLO-2D 2023). C:\Users\Public\Documents\FLO-2D PRO Documentation\flo_help\Manuals\Channel Guidelines 2023

Initial Conditions

The global initial depth value can be set in the channel segment control data. This is a single value that is assigned to every cell in the channel segment when the model starts.

Initial Water Surface Elevation

The initial water surface elevation is used to set the variable initial conditions. The values are assigned to the first and last element in a segment and interpolated to each cell in the channel at runtime.

Channel Geometry

The tabular channel data is edited in the Schematized Channel Geometry dialog box. This data can be edited by loading any grid element into the editor box or by editing the table directly. Copy paste options are active in the table editor.

Right Bank

A right bank editor is available in the Schematic Chanel Segments dialog box. Edit the columns directly and click close to apply.
