PHAST Data Requirements
Data requirements for visualizing PHAST results are as follows:
-
Only data that is stored within the HDF output file (prefix.h5)
can be displayed within Model Viewer.
-
Writing of initial-condition heads and chemical data is controlled by the identifiers
-HDF_heads and -HDF_chemistry in the PRINT_INITIAL data block.
By default, initial-condition heads and chemical data are written to the file.
-
If steady-state flow is simulated, the steady-state velocities at nodes can be written
to the HDF file by using the -HDF_steady_flow_velocities identifier of the
PRINT_INITIAL data block. By default, steady-state flow velocities are not
written to the file.
-
During the simulation, heads, nodal velocities, and chemical data are written at
selected frequencies as defined by the -HDF_heads, -HDF_velocities, and
-HDF_chemistry identifiers in the PRINT_FREQUENCY data block. By default,
the heads, velocities, and chemistry data are written to the HDF file at the end of
each simulation period. If steady-state flow is simulated, the heads and velocities
will be written only once. The chemical data to be written to the HDF file are
defined in the SELECTED_OUTPUT data block of the chemistry data file and by
Basic-language programs in the USER_PUNCH data block of the chemistry data file.
