Drawdown contour

Hi
I have simulated hydraulic head after pit dewatering(dac file).  Now I need to plot drawdown contour around the pit and Within model domain . could you please tell me  How can I get the dewatering contour in Feflow7.5? 

Hi,
the drawdown can be calculated (and displayed) by a [b]Nodal User Expression[/b] in FEFLOW.
Firstly, you would need to create a nodal user expression in the Data panel. You can do a right click under the section [b]User Data[/b] and choose [i]Add nodal expression distribution[/i].
Subsequently, you can define the name as [b][i]Drawdown[/i][/b].
Then right-click on this new distribution and choose [b][i]Edit Parameter Expression[/i][/b].
Here you could put an expression to do the calculation:
e.g.:

[i]Current = Head - Head@(0)[/i]

So, Head@0 is kind of a reference hydraulic head, that stored in the initial conditions (Time 0 [d]).

Hi,
Thank you Jintao.
Also, I would like to get drawdown based on two different conditions.  I.e : The  model without no mine - Model with Mine. what expression should I use in this case and , How can I import the the initial head of without no mine  model in to the model with mine?
thank you

You are welcome.
- If you have python experience, you can refer to this example to compare simulation results:
"Compare two results DAC files" http://www.feflow.info/html/help75/feflow/13_Programming/Python/Examples/Compare_DACs.htm

- If you are a classic GUI user:
Step1. You can export the result of model A at a specific time step, for example, the Head at Day365, as a Shapefile.
Step2. Then open Model B, and create a new nodal distribution called "HeadModelA_Day365"
Step3. Load the Shapefile to Model B, and use [i]Link To Parameter[/i], link the value to HeadModelA_Day365. Now, in Model B, you can also display the result of Model A.
Step4. It is similar like my last post, use further expression to compare the results.
