Description

DTM Settings

Used for obtaining information for ground elevations as well as for quantity calculations.

Ground level

Specify the terrain surface to be used to extract ground level data.

Intermediate material

Specify the terrain surface to be used to extract intermediate material level data.

Hard material

Specify the terrain surface to be used to extract hard material level data.

Include Strings model in Soft Material extraction

Select this checkbox to include road strings and terrain strings when interpolating heights.

Design

Specify which of the road string meshes to use when interpolating heights from road strings for cover levels and long-sections.

Quantities

Specify which of the road string meshes to use when interpolating heights from road strings for quantity calculations.

When vertical alignment has been manually altered

Ask permission to generate default alignment

 

Never generate default alignment

 

Fluid properties

Dynamic viscosity (kg/m/s)

Specify the dynamic viscosity of the fluid being modelled.

Density (kg/m3)

Specify the density of the fluid being modelled.

Advanced

These parameters relate to the advanced simulation option for multi-storey buildings.

Exponent for discharge/pressure link

Exponent referred to in the advanced method equation.

Reference pressure (bar)

Reference pressure referred to in the advanced method equation.

The fluid characteristics can also be changed should the analysis be required for fluids other than water.
