Fernando Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 How can I create a file containing the node number of my boundary nodestring? I've read to go to mesh module, File, save as and save as .bid file, but that extension is not an option, maybe because I only have Mesh and Map modules. Can anyone help?

John Howlett Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Fernando, To save a Boundary ID Files (*.bid), the current model should be set to ADCIRC - use the menu command "Data | Switch Current Model...". What model are you using? I ask because if it is needed for other models, we could make it available. - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have ADCIRC in SMS (only have Mesh and Map modules) so when I go to File, save as I don't have the option to save as .bid. Can you tell me who could it be available?

John Howlett Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Fernando, We haven't had requests in the past to make it available except for ADCIRC, but it could be done. What is your current model set to? Is it "Generic"? What external model are you using? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 John My current model is set to "Generic" and my external model is ELCIRC. It is very similar to ADCIRC so I really need to create a file with boundary node number. It would be a great deal for me if you could make it available for "Generic" model. I know that it can be done if I select Info Options and mark echo to file but the information I get needs an edition to match the .bid file format and, on the other hand, I have some boundaries with hundreds of nodes so, as you can imagine, it's not practical to use this method.

John Howlett Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Fernando, Please contact technical support and ask to speak with Tom (phone or email is fine). He is aware of your situation and has a solution. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 John, I've received an email from David Isleman with a solution and I've forwarded it to my boss. I think he has already contacted him. I want to thank you for your support and interest in solving my problem.
