Use SWAN Model Output

The user may import SWAN model outputs directly into EFDC (Figure1). This requires the SWAN user to select either a location file (table) or for a grid file (group) which can be exported from SWAN. Once again the user should know if they are importing steady waves or unsteady waves and select the appropriate option from the dropdown box. The output files names from SWAN should be saved as:

SWAN Location file: SWAN_LOC.INP & SWAN_GRP.INP or

SWAN Table file:SWAN_TBL.INP

The radial buttons in form Import SWAN Model Output allow the user to select which type of input file is being input. The EFDC.INP is then updated to tell EFDC which will then look for the appropriate files in the root level of the project directory.
