View source for Ensight Data Preprocessing

Ensight requires an input file format which is different to the standard TUFLOW output types. RES_to_RES.exe is used to convert TUFLOW xmdf results into an Ensight compatible form. Directions how to do this are outlined here: [[RES_to_RES |RES_to_RES.exe]]

The utility will create the following three ensight file types:
# Ensight case file; 
# Ensight geometry file; 
# Ensight results files. A unique file is created for each result output variable and time step.

Ensight is a 3D computational fluid dynamics viewing software. An elevation dataset is required to lock the 2D TUFLOW results to a fixed horizontal plan (2D space). The TUFLOW model output result data type ''ZH'' is required for this purpose. This must first be specified as a TUFLOW command prior to running the simulation. Steps required to flatten the dataset are outlined in the flowing section, "Loading Data" <br>(e.g. ''Map Output Data Types == h v q d <b>ZH </b>)''
