Description of commands 87<br />

ACCUR MXITST = 0).<br />

In the case MODE NONSTATIONARY several commands COMPUTE can appear, where the wave<br />

state at the end of one computation is used as initial state for the next one, unless a<br />

command INIT appears in between the two COMPUTE commands. This enables the user to<br />

make a stationary computation to obtain the initial state for a nonstationary computation<br />

and/or to change the computational time step during a computation, to change a boundary<br />

condition etc. This also has the advantage of not using a hotfile since, it can be very large<br />

in size.<br />

STATIONARY a stationary computation is to be made.<br />

[time] time level for which the stationary run is to be made, the format is:<br />

1 : ISO-notation 19870530.153000<br />

2 : (as in HP compiler) ’30−May−87 15:30:00’<br />

3 : (as in Lahey compiler) 05/30/87.15:30:00<br />

4 : 15:30:00<br />

5 : 87/05/30 15:30:00’<br />

6 : as in WAM 8705301530<br />

This format is installation dependent. See Implementation Manual or ask the<br />

person who installed <strong>SWAN</strong> on your computer. Default is ISO-notation.<br />

NONSTATION a nonstationary computation is to be made.<br />

[tbegc] the start date and time of the nonstationary computation, format see [time].<br />

Default: the time read from a hotfile (see command INIT HOTSTART), or the<br />

end time [tendc] of the previous nonstationary computation or the [time]<br />

of the previous stationary computation in the same <strong>SWAN</strong> run (if any).<br />

[deltc] the time step of the nonstationary computation, the unit is indicated in the<br />

next option:<br />

SEC unit seconds<br />

MIN unit minutes<br />

HR unit hours<br />

DAY unit days<br />

[tendc] the end time of the nonstationary computation, format see [time].<br />

HOTFile ’fname’<br />

This command can be used to write the entire wave field at the end of a computation to<br />

a so-called hotfile, to be used as initial condition in a subsequent <strong>SWAN</strong> run (see command<br />

INITIAL HOTSTART) This command must be entered immediately after a COMPUTE<br />

command.<br />

The format of the hotfile is identical to the format of the files written by the SPECOUT<br />

command (option SPEC2D).
