Our RiverView software provides complex analysis capabilities for triangulation, contouring, cross-sections, doppler analysis, channel and thalweg identification, channel geometry analysis, and dam breach analysis in a user-friendly Windows-based interactive graphic environment.

Triangulation capabilities are provided by utilizing either Delaunay or our own fast triangulation algorithm. Surface data can be loaded either from graphic text elements or from ASCII XYZ files. Triangulated data is saved as our own open-format FTN binary files. The model building interface allows previously triangulated data to be loaded directly. Viewing capabilities allow the vertices, triangles, or the outline of the triangulated area to be displayed.

Hydrographic survey analysis capabilities allow color-filled triangles, or color-coded contours to be shown based upon an elevation threshold value specified by the user. This elevation threshold may be used to represent water surface, Low Water Reference Plane, or a minimum channel depth threshold. Interactive placement of two-point lines allows cross-sections to be cut at any orientation.

Sophisticated analysis capabilities are provided for obtaining the answers needed for River Engineering. Current capabilities include thalweg and channel identification. These graphic displays show where the greatest depth of the channel is located, where a specified width channel is located and whether that segment of the channel satisfies a specified depth threshold. Additional analysis capabilities include channel geometry calculations, and dam breach inundation mapping analysis.
