How do I convert a .map file to WindSim .gws terrain file
The terrain conversion is handled by the Convert terrain model command line tool.
Open the cmd window:
- Option 1 for contour data
- 1 for WAsp .map file
- 1 to list files in WindSim projects folder (this folder may be different in your system)
If the file you want to convert is not present in the folder copy it there.
- Input the file name
- Choose to add additional nodes if applicable and choose limit of adding new nodes. Additional nodes should not be needed if the contour map is of high enough detail.
- Choose to convert whole area, or subset
- Specify resolution of grid.
- Wait for the conversion to complete, give the area a name and save it.
- The terrain should now be set as the grid file of the current WindSim project.
- After running Terrain inspect the area, and be vary of irregularities along the domain borders.
