Non-time-dependent results

eduvasfa · February 8, 2017, 08:06

Hi, I'm simulating a flood, I need to know how to get the result of the maximum flood in the entire topography. In Flowsight and Flow-3d I only obtain time-dependent results, in this case the result I need occurs at different times. Is there any way to generate this result ??

thanks for your help

If you activate the "hydraulic data" there is a variable called maximum flow depth, which is what I think you want. You could also output your selected data to a time frequency so you can capture the flood wave moving through the domain. Using this result, you can post-process to find your max flood elevation at each location. This might result in a very large file size, so also look into using history probes if you only need to get the max elevations at a few locations.
