Files and Formats

System data and results are saved in different files:

Die Systemdaten und die Resultate werden in verschiedenen Dateien abgelegt:

•System data (all average parameter values) are saved in the file [project name].in

•Variation data (all editable values in the table Parameter Variation) are saved in the file [project name].csv

These two files are necessary to load a project.

•Results of the deterministic simulation are stored in the file [project name].out. With "Save" they are saved as text in the file [project name]_det.txt. This file can be read with all text editors (Notepad, Wordpad, Word etc.).

  Additionally the following files are created:

•[project name]_det.csv: deterministic simulation results averaged over events are saved here (one row per event)

•[project name]_step.csv: each row contains the results of one simulation time step. The parameter StepOutput in the INI file determines how many events are saved to file. By default the first 99 events are stored. Warning: if you increase this value (e.g. to 3000 to save all events of 10 years), the file can become very large (up to 100'000 rows!).

•The meaning of the parameters in the columns can be found under Meaning of Parameters.

•Results of the stochastic simulation are saved in the file [project name]_st.csv. Files with extension csv can be directly opened by a spreadsheet program (e.g. Excel or OpenOffice Calc). The values are then correctly placed in columns and rows.

•The file Rebeka.INI saves the last used settings (position of the main window, project file, rainfall file, number of runs, impacts (enabled or disabled), random values mode, calculation mode for pH value, name of the help file etc.. Please do not edit this file manually!

•In der Datei _default.csv sind die Default-Werte für die Variation der Parameter und Verteilungen abgespeichert. Diese Datei wird gelesen, wenn in Variation der Parameter der Menupunkt Default-Werte des Popup-Menus gewählt wird. Please do not edit this file manually!

•Files with extension *.con contain all text used in the program for different languages (e.g. english.con)

•Inflow and outflow data files (extension *.txt) have the following format:

•header row: Date Q[m3/s] c_NH4[g/m3] c_TSS[g/m3]

•values: date/time as number (can be displayed  as date/time in Excel), discharge, NH4-N concentration, TSS concentration

(date/time is formatted as number because reading of such numbers is much faster than reading text strings of the format TT.MM.JJJJ HH:mm)
