Calculation of the Z interpolation at the mesh nodes
====================================================
The altitude field is constituted by means of the following Python script that must be generated and then run.
-Le script utilise une association des régions du cas de calcul HYDRO aux groupes de noeuds correspondants dans le maillage.
-Une commande du module HYDROSOLVER facilite la définition de cette association.
+In the script, the regions of the HYDRO calculation case are associated to the corrresponding faces group of the mesh.
+A specific command in HYDROSOLVER module helps to build this association.
-Il faut maintenant activer le module HYDROSOLVER, via la liste défilante des modules, ou son icône dans le bandeau : |HYDROSolver|.
-Nous utilisons la commande *Generate interpolz.py* du menu *Hydro*.
+The HYDROSOLVER module is activated with a selection in the module list (combo box) or its icon in the toolbar: |HYDROSolver|.
+Activate the command *Generate interpolz.py* in the *Hydro* menu.
-Il faut sélectionner le cas de calcul dans la rubrique *HYDRO / CALCULATION CASE* de l'arbre d'étude.
-Son nom apparaît dans la première ligne *Calculation cas* du dialogue.
+Select the calculation case in the study tree, under the folder *HYDRO / CALCULATION CASE*.
+Its name appears in the first line of the dialog: *Calculation case*.
-Le chemin complet du script à créer doit être renseigné dans la rubrique *Output path* (le nom du script doit se terminer par .py).
+In the *Output path* field, give the full path of the Python script to create (script name must end with .py).
-Il faut désigner le fichier du maillage de départ construit à l'étape précédente dans rubrique *MED file*.
+In the *MED file* field, select the mesh field produced at the previous step.
-La valeur *Undefined Z* est utilisée quand le module HYDRO ne sait pas calculer l'altitude en un point.
-C'est utilisé a postériori pour détecter d'éventuels problèmes de définition des zones de calcul dans le cas de calcul.
+*Undefined Z* is used when he HYDRO module does not know how to calculate the altitude on a point.
+This may be used to help in case of problems in the zones definition in the calculation case.
The interpolation of point clouds can be done in two ways, depending on whether the clouds are denser than the mesh, or vice versa.
For very dense point clouds, it suffices to take the altitude of the closest point in the cloud.
-If the mesh is denser than the cloud, it is better to use linearised interpolation, obtained by previous triangulation of the point cloud.
-This last method is more accurate but slightly more costly, computationally.

-Il faut sélectionner les bons noms de régions en correspondance avec les noms des groupes de noeuds des faces,
-en laissant la sélection à *None* pour les autres groupes.
+The region names must be selected in correspondance of their group of faces (representing the same geometric face),
+and, for the other groups, the selection should be *None*.

-The script produces several files, whose names are derived from the original file name of the mesh, with different suffixes,
-which are stored in the original file's directory:

+**Remark** : The Z coordinate on mesh nodes is not used by TELEMAC, but is useful for visual control in SMESH.
-To run the script, the HYDRO module for the study must be active. If resuming work on a study that was previously saved,
-the HYDRO module must be activated before running the script
-(simply select HYDRO at least once in order for the data stored in the study file to be read).

The script is executed manually with the File / Load Script... menu command.
-The script blocks the graphic interface during execution.
-It displays an execution trace in the Python console that is displayed by default in the GEOM and SMESH modules.

It is also possible to edit the following script:

Visualisation with the MED module
---------------------------------
-The MED module offers a simple field view of a MED mesh.

The MED module must first be activated, then use the *File/Add Data Source* menu or the equivalent icon and find the *garonne_1F.med* file.
Expanding the *garonne_1F.med* object in the study tree will reveal the *HYDRO_Garonne_1* mesh and the *BOTTOM* field.
Select the field and click on the *scalar map* icon.
-The field is displayed in 3D view. The 3D-view context menu contains the *Representation / Surface with Edges* command
