20 Chapter 3 • Definitions of the geographic location(s) of the output. The output locations may be either on a geographic grid, or along user specified lines (e.g., a given depth contour line) or at individual output locations. • Times for which the output is requested (only in nonstationary runs). • Type of output quantities (wave parameters, currents or related quantities). 3.3 Print file and error messages SWAN always creates a print file. Usually the name of this file is identical to the name of the command file of the computations with the extension (.SWN) replaced with (.PRT). Otherwise, it depends on the batch file that is used by the user. Consult the Implementation Manual for more information. The print file contains an echo of the command file and error messages. These messages are usually self-explanatory (if not, users may address the SWAN forum-page on the SWAN homepage). The print file also contains computational results if the user so requests (with command BLOCK or TABLE).
Chapter 4 Description of commands 4.1 List of available commands The following commands are available to users of SWAN (to look for the commands quickly, see table of contents and index). Start-up commands (a) Start-up commands: PROJECT SET MODE COORD title of the problem to be computed sets values of certain general parameters requests a stationary / nonstationary or 1D-mode / 2D-mode of SWAN to choose between Cartesian and spherical coordinates Commands for model description (b) Commands for computational grid: CGRID READGRID defines dimensions of computational grid reads a curvi-linear or unstructured computational grid (c) Commands for input fields: INPGRID READINP WIND defines dimensions of bottom, water level, current and friction grids reads input fields activates constant wind option 21

• Definitions of the geographic location(s) of the output. The output locations may be<br />
either on a geographic grid, or along user specified lines (e.g., a given depth contour<br />
line) or at individual output locations.<br />
• Times for which the output is requested (only in nonstationary runs).<br />
• Type of output quantities (wave parameters, currents or related quantities).<br />
3.3 Print file and error messages<br />
<strong>SWAN</strong> always creates a print file. Usually the name of this file is identical to the name of<br />
the command file of the computations with the extension (.SWN) replaced with (.PRT).<br />
Otherwise, it depends on the batch file that is used by the user. Consult the Implementation<br />
Manual for more information.<br />
The print file contains an echo of the command file and error messages. These messages are<br />
usually self-explanatory (if not, users may address the <strong>SWAN</strong> forum-page on the <strong>SWAN</strong><br />
homepage). The print file also contains computational results if the user so requests (with<br />
command BLOCK or TABLE).
