1. Output FilesΒΆ

These output files are written out by EFDC+ in a binary format. The easiest way to view the results is using EE Modeling System (EEMS). A demo of EEMS is available and can be accessed by going to the EEMS website. Alternatively, a rudimentary postprocessing tool is available, referred to as GetEFDC. GetEFDC is a Fortran 90 program that can read the binary formats and can be modified to output into another format like a text file. A detailed description of GetEFDC is found on the next page.

In the table below each of the binary output files is listed and described.

Output file name Description
EE_WS.OUT Water depth
EE_WC.OUT Water column and top layer of sediments
EE_BC.OUT Computed boundary flows
EE_BED.OUT Sediment bed layer information
EE_WQ.OUT Water quality information for the water column
EE_SD.OUT Sediment diagensis information
EE_RPEM.OUT Rooted plant and epiphyte model
EE_SEDZLJ.OUT Sediment bed data for sedzlj sub-model
EE_HYD.OUT Water depth and velocity

Some of these outputs are optional based on the options set in the efdc.inp file.
