Object flow output (Water Overlay)

From Tygron Support wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This attribute is automatically created for all relevant hydraulic structures in a project when a water calculation is performed. When the calculation is complete, the attribute is updated automatically.

For point-based buildings, a positive value means a net amount of water was added to the surface. A negative value means a net amount of water was removed from the surface.
For line-based buildings, positive or negative indicates the net direction the water has flowed.

All hydraulic structures have an OBJECT_FLOW_OUTPUT attribute. Also a breach area and a Sewer area have this attribute.

Notes

  • This attribute does not need to be created when configuring the project. This attribute is created automatically by the Water Overlay when a calculation is performed.
  • To prevent conflicts between multiple Water Overlays, the Overlay ID is appended to the attribute name by default.
  • Invalid water objects have an Object flow output attribute value of NO_DATA: (~ -3.4+e38) for easy exporting/debugging.
  • The value is stored per timeframe and represents the amount of water transported in m³ for the period of that timeframe. Therefore the total object flow during the entire simulation can be computed as the sum of the individual values per timeframe.
