Swan Support Package

the Swan Support package

The SWAN support package by Digital Hydraulics consists of the following items:

the SWAN executable with graphics extension, i.e. the program that carries out the wave computations
the user documentation for the graphics extension; this is a hyperlinked text just like this website
the SWAN course, also a hyperlinked text
a simple tool to run SWAN with graphics extension stand-alone, outside the control of the Graphical User Interface
the Graphical User Interface for SWAN (with graphics extension) with help files for every sub-menu
a few bottom files to test the GUI and SWAN with graphics extension
the graphical post-processing program OPGraph, like SWAN with a hyperlinked user documentation

The executable programs in the package only run in single-processor mode on MS-Windows based systems. If you would like to make a version of SWAN with graphics extension or OP-Graph for e.g. Linux or for a multi-processor system, you can obtain the necessary information from Dr. Booij. It is expected that you will make the result available to the entire SWAN community.

Starting January 1, 2012 this package is available free of charge. Voluntary contributions from commercial companies or from government agencies are higl appreciated however. Please contact Dr. Booij for details of payment if you wish to send a contribution.
Support is not free, however. If you need support or if you wish to hire Dr. Booij as a teacher in a SWAN course you can contact Dr. N. Booij by e-mail.

After receipt of the e-mail and if you agree with the general conditions you will receive a message with a license file and indications how to obtain the package itself.

General Conditions

Although we (developers of the Swan Support Package) have made every effort to deliver error-free, useful software, we cannot give any guarantee or accept any liability for the quality of the results. Apart from our own limitations there are two reasons for this:

We have no control over the level of expertise of the users of the software.
The numerical results of wave computations are computed by the SWAN program delivered by Delft University which we copy without any changes, apart from those that were necessary to attach our graphical procedures.
