1. Primary Run Control

The run control files contain options to specify calculation types, time step sizes, output options, and other related controls. The most important of these files is the efdc.inp file and will be explained in detail later on.

Input File	Description
efdc.inp	Master EFDC+ control file
show.inp	Model run time reporting options
efdcwin.inp	Simplified control (deprecated)

1.1. Restart Related Files

The restart files allow an EFDC+ calculation to start up from a specified time step part way through a calculation. Use of these files may be necessary if a calculation ended prematurely and a user wishes to restart from the last saved time step.

Input File	File Description
restart.inp	hydrodynamic restart
rstwd.inp	wetting & drying
temp.rst	bed temperature restart
wqwcrst.inp	water quality restart
wqsdrst.inp	sediment diagenesis restart file
wqrpemrst.inp	rooted plant & epiphyte

1.2. EFDC.INP

The efdc.inp file is extensive and specifies all options for running a calculation. Historically, the options were organized by card types. As such, each card description and input parameter is given below. Each of these cards is placed in a single efdc.inp file and read in by EFDC+ at run time.

Note, when creating and efdc.inp file a line starting with * or - will be ignored and interpretted as a comment.
