Ifm deactivating elements and the DAC file

Hi All,

I'm having a model where I am deactivating the elements via IFM. It appear to work correctly, but changes in active/inactive elements do not appear in the DAC file.

Are these changes not saved by FEFLOW?

While we are at it, when are we getting transient reference distributions?

Thanks in advance!

I think they're not - as all other material property changes that you do during the simulation via IFM/Python. The DAC format currently only provides the possibility to record changes in BCs (as they can also occur without using plug-ins due to constraints), and the option to record reference distribution changes.

A snippet indicating the workflow for transient distributions via Python is provided here: http://forum.mikepoweredbydhi.com/index.php?topic=18809.msg24443#msg24443
