cell volumetrics
The cell volumetrics module provides cell by cell volumetrics data. It creates an output field with volume, contaminant mass, and cell centers for every cell in the grid. The user selects the analyte, cell sets, units, and soil properties, and the module computes volumetric data on a per-cell basis. Results can optionally be written to a tab-delimited file suitable for import into programs like Excel.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Field | Field | The field to use for calculations. |
| Input | Z Scale | Number | The factor used to remove vertical scaling. |
| Input | Explode | Number | The value used for collapsing input based on exploded geology. |
| Input | String For Output | String | String to be added at the beginning of the Output Results file. |
| Output | Output Field | Field | The main output field with cell volumetric data. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Run | Boolean | When the Allow Run toggle is set to on the module will run every time a setting is changed. |
| Execute | Button | This button will force the module to run even if the Allow Run toggle has been turned off. This allows the user to make a number of changes before updating. |
| Z Scale | Double | The Z exaggeration factor applied to the input field. |
| Explode | Double | The Explode factor applied to the input field. |
Input Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Nodal Data Component | Choice | The Nodal Data Component used to subset the input. Options are populated from the input field. |
| Cell Sets | Multi-select | The Cell Sets selection list allows the user to select which of the cell sets (or possibly geologic layers) the volumes and masses will be calculated in. |
| Nodal Units | Linked Analyte Unit | The Nodal Units are set based on the input data and the selected Nodal Data Component. The Multiplier is the ratio of the users input units to grams/grams. The Calculation Type determines what type of units to process the Nodal Data Component in. |
| Coordinate Units | Linked Coordinate Unit | The Coordinate Units are set based on the coordinate units of the input model. The Multiplier is the ratio of the users input units to Liters. |
Output Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Units | Choice: Cubic Feet, Cubic Yards, Cubic Meters, Liters, Acre Feet, Barrels, Specify | Volume Units is used to select which units the volume should be calculated in. |
| Volume Units Ratio | Double | If the Volume Units is set to Specify the user must set the Volume Units Ratio. The ratio should be the factor needed to convert between the user specified units and liters. |
| Volume Specified Units | String | If the Volume Units is set to Specify the user must set the Volume Specified Units. This label will be used in the output. |
| Mass Units | Choice: Kilograms, Metric Tons, Pounds, U.S. Short Tons, Ounces (Troy), Specify | Mass Units is used to select which units the mass should be calculated in. |
| Mass Unit Ratio | Double | If the Mass Units is set to Specify the user must set the Mass Unit Ratio. The ratio should be the factor needed to convert between the user specified units and kilograms. |
| Mass Specified Units | String | If the Mass Units is set to Specify the user must set the Mass Specified Units. This label will be used in the output. |
| Output Field Data | Multi-select: Current Cell, Cell Center X, Cell Center Y, Cell Center Z, Soil Volume, Soil Mass, Chem Volume, Chem Mass, Average Concentration | The Output Field Data allows the user to select which cell data components to include in the Output Field. |
| Output Results To File | Boolean | The Output Results To File toggle causes volumetrics to write a file, specified by the Filename, that contains all volumetrics information in a format suitable for input to programs like Excel (tab delimited .txt file). This file is written to in an append mode. |
| Overwrite File | Boolean | The Overwrite File toggle will create a new file when on or append to a file when off. |
| Filename | File | The filename for output. |
