Case7 and 7b Non-conforming grids

 

The data files for the project are in directory: SpatVar_001\Exercises\Case 7\Data. Look for ! TODO  text in the datafile and follow the instructions.

 

In this exercise the Grid from Case 1 is decreased in size so that is non-conforming to the model geometry. Then a flag to indicate whether points outside the grid should be assigned values equal to the closest point value is set. To perform this exercise modify the data as shown bellow. Grid data can be copied from excel file "SpatVar_001_case7.xlsx" .

1The cell division is decreased 100 m in X direction and 200 m in Y direction. This leads to a spatial grid which is 7000 x 3200 x 4000 m so it does not conform to the model geometry which is 8000 x 4000 x 4000 m.

2Boundary_map_flag is set to define whether the points outside the grid should be assigned values equal to the closest point or not:

a.Case 7 : Flag set to 1 (assign values)

b.Case 7b: Flag set to 0 ( do not assign values)
