NAME
sutraplt - A graphical display program for the Saturated-
Unsaturated Transport (SUTRA) Finite-Element Ground-
Water Simulation Model
ABSTRACT
SUTRA-PLOT provides an easily-used, interactive, screen-oriented
program to plot results from the SUTRA model. Graphics options
include:
1. Contour plots:
a. Concentration
b. Saturation
c. Pressure
d. Temperature
2. Velocity vector plots
3. Finite-element mesh plots
Specifications for individual types of plots are entered and may be
edited interactively. These specifications can be saved on a disk
file for re-use, eliminating the need for re-entry of data for
subsequent executions.
DATA REQUIREMENTS
Two SUTRA files are required: (1) SUTRA list of input data and (2)
SUTRA simulation output listing. Other data are provided through
program prompts.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
SUTRA-PLOT is written in Fortran 77 with the following extension:
use of variable names longer than 6 characters. Graphics are coded
using Computer Associates' DISSPLA library references for the Data
General AViiON workstation and Lahey and Microsoft Fortran graphic
libraries for PC versions. Generally, the program is easily
installed on most computer systems. The code has been used on UNIX-
based computers and DOS-based 386 or greater computers having a math
coprocessor and 4 mb of memory.
