TransGen Instruction file (<Project>.TGDATA file)

Data defining the input model and instructions for calculating the output data in TransGen are supplied to the calculation and graphics module ViewGen in a text file (<Project>.TGDATA) created via the WizGen module using Eclipse format Keywords.  

HINT:- The WizGen interactive wizard provides an easy and reliable method for creating and editing the TGDATA file. Do NOT be tempted to edit the TGDATA run file manually.

Unlike Eclipse, the TransGen instruction file is not split into sections.  Large datasets will automatically use the INCLUDE keyword to merge input from several files into one dataset, whilst retaining an instruction file of manageable size.TransGen uses a small subset of all the available Eclipse keywords and defines several new keywords used to enter information specific to the calculations performed by TransGen.  All new TransGen Keywords start with TG.

Keywords and their associated data can be input in any order, with the following exceptions (DIMENS, COORD, ZCORN, END).

It is essential to specify the units that are used in the model (using one of the following keywords: METRIC, FIELD, LAB ).

TransGen will generate an error message if the program encounters an unrecognised keyword.

An example of the <project_name>.TGDATA runfile as generated using WizGen in "Basic project" mode (see Using WizGen to create a TransGen runfile for further details) is shown below.

The keywords are highlighted in blue. These are predominantly Eclipse keywords allowing the import and export of data from/to the parent flow simulation model.  Some keywords, i.e. those prefixed by TG such as TGVS, TGFSP etc, are TransGen specific and are used solely to define data or processes within TransGen. Click on any of them to follow link to details on the format of data associated with that keyword.
