RE: mdu and ext files context - Forum - Delft3D Flexible Mesh

Hi There,

I am trying to do data assimilation into D-FLOW by OpenDA and now I'm rebuilding OpenDA's developer examples to become familiar with its methods and materials. The example, which I attached it to this inquiry, is a simple estuary with discharge for the east boundary and astronomical water level for the west boundary. Since ensemble Kalman filter as a data assimilation method needs to add some uncertainty to a boundary, the time series of noise has been introduced at the west boundary with the value of zeroes, but it will be filled with the noise values once OpenDA starts to run.

The problem that I've encountered is that ".mdu" and ".ext" files which OpenDA developers have created are different from my files. I noticed that their version of D-FLOW was different from mine. I would be thankful if you could please let me know whether the version of D-FLOW is the reason for this difference or not? Moreover, What should I do to address this problem? Because I need to provide .mdu and .ext files similar to their example files to let OpenDA interact with D-FLOW. 
Information about this example can be found in the user manual of D-FLOW Flexible Mesh, Chapter 19, page 294.

In addition, I've tried several times to save ".tim" format of noise time series at the west boundary, but I couldn't. I should mention that I am using Delft3D FM Suite 2017 HMWQ 1.2.2.36603.  

Attached please find developer's example materials and my materials.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Reza
