Computed Flows

The Computed Flows menu item provides a way to calculate discharge from the EE_BC.OUT file for boundaries such as hydraulic structures. After the model has finished running the EE_BC.OUT file will be generated. RMC on a boundary and select view Flow Output Plots to calculate the flow through the hydraulic structure as shown in Figure 1.

Example plots produced by the View Flow Output Plots function are shown in Figure 2 for a flow through a hydraulic structure

An alternative method for calculating flow through a hydraulic structure in a particular cell is to RMC on that boundary and then select View Hydraulic Structure Cell Flow. Select View Hydraulic Structure Group Flow if you want to calculate flow through a boundary group as shown in Figure 3
