tidal simulation error

[wuhe]

hi,dear all
I would like to do some tidal simulation, and I have run the case https://www.myroms.org/wiki/index.php/FJORD_TIDAL_CASE successfully, then I have changed some defination of cpp file (.h) like this :
define ANA_FSOBC----->define SSH_TIDES
define ANA_M2OBC----->define UV_TIDES
,and I maked a forcing file including tidal harmonical information and did some necessary work to the file(*.in), but, unfortunately,there was some error appearing on my screen when i run my changed case

SET_NGFLD - current model time exceeds ending value for variable: zeta_east
TDAYS = -52791.0000
Data Tmin = 0.0000 Data Tmax = 0.0000
Data Tstr = 0.0000 Data Tend = 0.0000
TINTRP1 = 0.0000 TINTRP2 = 0.0000
FAC1 = 52791.0000 FAC2 = -52791.0000

endef(nc)
close(nc)
so i am confused, and any hint will be grateful!

It is complaining about zeta_east and friends, not about the tidal variables. What does your boundary condition file look like? Did you mean for it to be reading from a boundary condition file?

[wuhe]

I didn't input any boundary file, cause i did some change in the globaldefs.h according to your suggestion,(You need to hack globaldefs.h to swear to it that you do not need a boundary file. Do a search on OBC.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1608&hilit=tide),
I changed it like this:
#if (!defined ANA_FSOBC && \
(defined WEST_FSOBC || defined EAST_FSOBC || \
defined SOUTH_FSOBC || defined NORTH_FSOBC)) || \
(!defined ANA_M2OBC && \
(defined WEST_M2OBC || defined EAST_M2OBC || \
defined SOUTH_M2OBC || defined NORTH_M2OBC)) || \
(!defined ANA_M3OBC && \
(defined WEST_M3OBC || defined EAST_M3OBC || \
defined SOUTH_M3OBC || defined NORTH_M3OBC)) || \
(!defined ANA_TOBC && \
(defined WEST_TOBC || defined EAST_TOBC || \
defined SOUTH_TOBC || defined NORTH_TOBC))
/*
#define OBC_DATA
*/

#endif

did I do this wrong?

[kate]

Does it now work for you? That's the true test.
