Browse and select the input file.
Note that you can choose to only display a specific file extension type.
Presently you can choose between two file extension types:
· .14 (ADCIRC data)
The z-value from ADCIRC data is assumed to describe depth, why the value is multiplied with -1 before the mesh is saved
· .2dm (SMS/TUFLOW data)
The z-value from SMS/TUFLOW data is saved in the mesh file as is
For Non-MZ bathymetry data it is necessary to define the map projection that the (X,Y) coordinates in the input data file is referring to.
In case (X,Y) is defined in geographical coordinates, select the LONG/LAT projection found in the group ‘Non UTM projections’.
NOTE: The nodes in the input file needs to be saved in increasing order. E.g. when converting a .2dm file to a .mesh file, the .2dm file’s nodes need to be renumbered first in the SMS, so the Mesh Converter tool can find the correct information about the elements and nodes when the format changes.
Only the node information for nodes on external boundaries are in transferred to the resulting mesh file. The attribute for nodes within the mesh are per default set to 0.
