VOSWMM allows users to define the csv file of conduit transects in either of the following two formats.

  • Format 1: this format applies to the situation when all the transects share the same stage. The first column is the stage and the following columns are elevations for each transect. The header is the first row. The first cell of the header is the column name of the first column, i.e. stage. The following cells of the header are the NHYD of conduits whose transects are to be assigned.

  • Format 2: this format applies to the situation when each transect has different stage from others. Each transect defines its own stage and its elevation in two separate columns. The header of each elevation column is the NHYD of the conduit.

After importing the transect curves, the left and right Bank Station will be automatically calculated based on the csv file. The imported transects will be assigned to the conduits based on the elevation headers.
