BASEMENT 4 is available

BASEMENT 4 merges the capacities of v2 and the power and ease of use of v3. It is now available at https://basement.ethz.ch, and the tutorials on hydro-informatics.com will soon be updated.

This chapter guides through the setup of a two-dimensional (2d) numerical simulation with the freely available software BASEMENT developed at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland). Visit their website to download the program and read the detailed documentation. This tutorial features:

• Setting up a 2d hydrodynamic, steady model

• Running a steady hydrodynamic 2d numerical simulation

• Post-processing of simulation results: Visualize, understand and analyze model outputs.

Requirements

Completing this tutorial requires:

• The installation of QGIS.

• The SMS 2dm file resulting from the Pre-processing with QGIS tutorial.

• The installation of BASEMENT v3.1.1 or newer.

• Optional: ParaView.
