The Rainfall Overlay is a variant of the Water Overlay, which in turn is a grid overlay. Water overlays are connected to the Water Module, a complex hydrological calculation module within the Tygron Platform.
The Rainfall overlay specializes in displaying the hazard and impact of (heavy) rainfall over the project area. Based on the elevation model, terrain roughness and representations of the sewer and water systems, several result types can be generated by the accompanying Water Module.
A Rainfall Overlay Tutorial is available to start working with this overlay.
Rainfall overlay results
The Rainfall Overlay is a variant of the Water Overlay. Each water overlay is connected to an instance of the Water Module, a complex hydrological calculation kernel within the Tygron Platform.
This Water Module instance runs a 2D grid based water simulation for a large set of input data and parameters, configured mostly through a related Rainfall Overlay Wizard. When a simulation finishes, the module stores the result in the Rainfall overlay based on the selected result type. Only one result type can be stored per Rainfall overlay.
The Water Module however is not restricted to generating only one type of result. Instead it can produce several unique result types for one single simulation. Fortunately it is possible to add additional result type overlays which relate to a particular Rainfall overlay. These are known as child overlays. Again, each child overlay only stored on particular result type.
Apart from multiple result types, the Rainfall overlay can also store result data of multiple, intermediate simulation results, instead of just a single end result. These intermediate simulation results are known as timeframes.
For the full list of result types, see List of Result Types.
For other results, which are not overlay results, but still related to the simulation for a particular Rainfall overlay, see Rainfall overlay results.
