7.1 Mesh File
Mesh file has all the irregular mesh (TIN) geometry information in it. It contains all the nodes and elements. For nodes, it records its location in space and for elements, it saves index of nodes of which elements comprise of and some topological relations in the form of its neighbor elements.
In the input section of the dialog browse the 5 input
files. First three: ele file, node file, and neighbor file are those obtained by
the TRIANGLE in the section 6.2. Rest two files are the ESRI binary raster files
corresponding to the surface and bedrock elevation of the modeling domain
respectively. It should be noted that the files should be in the same geographic
coordinate system. In the output section browse a mesh file to which the output
will be saved. Execute the module by clicked Run. Text browser should provide
with any information regarding error or execution of the module. Click Close to close the dialog and
proceed to next step.
