Area code map
Making a copy of the bathymetry and changing all water depths to zero easily
generates the Area Code Map file. Then you select your sub-areas of interest
(in the Grid Editor) and assign a code (integer number) to each area.
The Rønne Harbour example in the installation includes a setup, which you
may use for reference.

Start-up period
For irregular waves in ports and harbours it is important to specify the simula-
tion time long enough to allow the wave pattern inside the harbour to build up,
including reflections from breakwaters and quays (“start-up period”). The cal-
culation must be initiated after the wave pattern has reached a reasonable
quasi-steady state (statistically speaking). If the calculation is started at
arrival of the first wave (wave No. 1) the calculated wave disturbance coeffi-
cients inside the harbour may be underestimated.
