Error using INNER_BOUNDARY with hqrelation
Hello
I'm performing a 2D Simulation with Basement V2.8. I'd like to implement an inner boundary at a bridge and use the type hqrelation . I have prepared the hqrelation file with two columns (water elevation with values a.s.l. and the corresponding discharge).
The first x-value of boundary serie is equal 646.271 m (I got this from the error message, see point 3 below)
1) If the first value in my table is smaller than 646.271 m I get the following error:
EXCEPTION -> Division by zero in slope calculation in boundary serie!, in file:
..\src\BoundarySerie.cpp on line 162, Version: 2.8 R5771, compiled at: May
31 2018, 15:20:23
The table looks like this
645.71 5
646.36 10
646.66 20
646.89 30
.....
2) If the first value in my table is equal 646.271 m I get the same error as above.
The table looks like this
646.271 5
646.36 10
646.66 20
646.89 30
.....
3) If the first value in my table is larger than 646.271 m I get following error:
ERROR -> x-value (usually = time) smaller than first x-value of boundary serie!
(x-value: 646.271 first value: 646.3)
The table looks like this
646.3 5
646.36 10
646.66 20
646.89 30
.....
What do I do wrong? How can I set up my hqrelation file correctly?
Here my log file

Re: Error using INNER_BOUNDARY with hqrelation
Hi
The case that you should go for is case 1) where the first value in the boundary serie is smaller than the first x-value (646.271 m).
The error "Division by zero in slope calculation in boundary serie!" only occurs if two x-values in the boundary serie (in your case the elevation a.s.l) are the same.
I hope this helps!
Best regards
Matthias

Re: Error using INNER_BOUNDARY with hqrelation
Hi Matthias
Thanks for your replay. I could solve the error "Division by zero in slope calculation in boundary serie!". In fact I had duplicates in the x-value. I went for case 1) where the first value in the boundary serie is smaller than the first x-value but then I get the following error:
ERROR -> Error at the definition of the boundary serie.
The value is smaller than the smallest value of Boundary condition.
The table looks like this
645.71 5
646.36 10
646.66 20
646.89 30
.....
When the first value ist equal or larger than 646.271 I get the error that I mentioned in the first Post
How can I solve this new error?
Regards

Re: Error using INNER_BOUNDARY with hqrelation
Hi
I would try setting the first row in your table to something definitely below any value occuring at the boundary. For example:
600.0 0
645.71 5
646.36 10
646.66 20
646.89 30
Best regards
