Suspended load block

Good Morning everyone!

I want to model a plastic release in a 5km long channel with a regular geometry.
I was wondering to use the Suspended Load block and treat sediment as plastic particles by changing density and diameter since i need to consider the settling velocity.

I followed the previous posts on this forum regarding suspended load. But the model seems not to run. I write it and once i run it doesn't load the cross sections. I receive this message :

BASEMENT v4.0.2 (v4.0.2)
BASEMD omp binary
-> Domain: Input file has been successfully parsed and passed preliminary
   validation
-> *** Start Simulation ***
-> OpenMP: Computation is executed in parallel using 8 threads
-> Domain Initialized
-> initialize domain done
-> initialize networkcommunication done
-> Initialization of SubDomain 'New_sim'
-> TopoBMG: Input file has 11 warnings and 0 errors
-> Grid: building grid using 11 cross sections
-> Grid: ...done.

and automatically doesn't give the outputs. Can you help me??

The setting of the suspended load block are the following

"MORPHOLOGY": {
            "BEDMATERIAL": {
              "GRAIN_CLASS": {
                "diameters": [

                  ]
                }
              ],
              "SOIL_ASSIGNMENT": {
                "index": [

                    }
                  ]
                }
              ]
            },

                },

Thank you in advance.

Re: Suspended load block

Hi,

I am not sure, I understand the problem. Is there an error when you run the model? Or what do you mean with "it doesn't load the cross sections"?

Best regards,
Matthias

Re: Suspended load block

Sorry i wasn't clear at all.
Basement crashes if i put in input in the suspended load block this file for the INITIAL

time:    0   
C    Mixture   
5000    0    uniform
4500.00    0.015    uniform
4000.00    0.02    uniform
3500.00    0.015    uniform
3000.00    0    uniform
2500.00    0    uniform
2000.00    0    uniform
1500.00    0    uniform
1000.00    0    uniform
500.00    0    uniform
0    0    uniform

I'm trying to reproduce the TEST CASE ST_BP_1: Advection of suspended load of the manual.

Thanks for your help,

Rebecca.
