Deposition Structures

Deposition locations are defined by Deposition Structures, which comprise:

Deposition Nodes;

Deposition Paths; and

Deposition Lines.

During a Deposition Run:

Deposition structures generate Deposition Vectors

Deposition Vectors are raised in defined Elevation Raises

Deposition Vectors generate Deposition Points as they are raised

Deposition occurs from the Deposition Points

Materials define the beach shape

Each Deposition Structure has a:

Status which defines if deposition occurs from the Structure during a model run

Deposition Order which defines the order in which deposition takes place relative to other deposition structures

To view the Deposition Vectors and their Deposition Order activate Deposition Sequences.

Note

Deposition Points move as they are raised

Deposition Point Movement is defined by:

oDeposition Nodes: Vector Slope and an Angle in the X-Y Plane

oDeposition Lines: Vector Slope and the Deposition Line normal

oDeposition Paths: Deposition Path alignment
