The Comment Unit allows comments to be placed between hydraulic units to aid documentation within the data file.
Theory and Guidance
General
Comments can be included within the data file using the keyword COMMENT.
COMMENTS can be placed between hydraulic unit data to aid documentation of the data file. COMMENTS cannot be positioned before the end of the general system parameters data or within the initial conditions. A COMMENT is not a hydraulic unit and should therefore not be included in the number of nodes in the model given in line 2 of the data file.
Data
Field in Data Entry Form | Description | Name in Datafile |
|---|---|---|
Comment | required comment (anything you like except Flood Modeller keywords should not be used at the start of a line, e.g. don't start a line with RIVER) | text |
Datafile Format
General
Line 1 : keyword 'COMMENT'
Line 2 : n1
Line 3 to Line 2 + n1 : Text
where n1 is the number of lines of ensuing comments, and text is the required comment (anything you like except Flood Modeller keywords should not be used at the start of a line, e.g. don't start a line with RIVER)
