RMA10 is a multi-dimensional (combining 1-D, 2-D either depth or laterally averaged, and 3-D elements) finite element numerical model written in FORTRAN-77. Here is a list of new features:
The latest release of RMA10 accommodates users who wish to use national coordinate systems. These systems have relatively long sequences of digits for coordinates which in a modeling context often have leading digits that are of no importance. However, when results are exported back to GIS systems the leading digits are important. The limit of 10 characters per coordinate (actually 8+ in the computer representation) has lead to inaccurate computation of differences when dealing with individual elements. Therefore, the RMA10 model and associated graphics module have been modified to use double precision coordinates. The limit of 32767for node numbers has been removed.
The RMA suite of hydrodynamic and water quality models form a sophisticated, robust, time series tool for the simulation of the prototype conditions and design impacts.
