The background file provides the limits of the domain area, contour values and optionally comparative flow vectors. You may select one of three types of dfs files:
· Bathymetry file
(a dfs2 file containing the bathymetry)
· HD file including result components
(MIKE 21 HD and MIKE 3 HD standard dfs2/dfs3 output files,
vector components can be derived and shown for comparison)
· HD file excluding result components
(MIKE 21 HD and MIKE 3 HD dfs2/dfs3 output files,
vector components cannot be shown for comparison)
In case the file is a dfs3 file, you have to specify which layer number that is to be used for the background values.
NOTE: In case the background file is selected as a HD file, the time steps in the HD file must cover the time period described in the ADCP file (i.e. start time + off-set).
