We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Dear Shuangxing Du,

thank you very much for the quick feedback. 

Indeed, this is the type of information I was looking for.

To get acquainted with the tool, I am now trying to cross-check the output from AqwaFlow with the graphical output that can be obtained from Hydrodynamic Diffraction => Solution => Max wave elevation

as, for a given point, the max wave elevation (incident+diffracted+radiated without 2nd order effects) is expected (at least, I expect it) to be equal to the amplitude from AqwaFlow.

I'm getting results that look consistent.

However, I have some issues in refining the visual comparison due to the fact that I do not find a way to modify the color scale that is automatically obtained in the graphica output:

 

Clicking on the numbers, some boxes appear as if the levels were editable:

 

but, in reality, I cannot edit them / whatever I do is not reflected in the scale.

Right clicking on the scale shows also the possibility of changing the color scheme. However, even if I select a different colo scheme, the plot still uses the default rainbow.

Do you know whether there is a way to modify at least the min-max range of the color scale ?

Also, do you know whether it is possible to export the results from max wave elevation plot, or, in general, wave elevation data for the wave grid, in an external output file ?

Thank you,

Gabriele
