FAQ
SLF to RLA Conversion
What are SLF files?
SLF is the file extension of Selafin, also called Serafin, the standard binary format of the TELEMAC modelling system for rivers, coasts, and estuaries. TELEMAC is used by engineers to simulate how water moves, for example during floods, tides, dam failures, and sediment transport, and its programs read and write their data in this format. A file of this type can hold the mesh of triangles that covers the studied area, together with the results of the simulation: the water depth, the water level, the velocity of the current, and other quantities at every point of the mesh, saved for many moments in time. Because of this, one file can be used both as the input geometry of a model and as its output, and it is read by the programs that draw and analyze the results.
What are RLA files?
The RLA image format, whose name stands for Run-Length Encoded Version A, is associated with the animation package Wavefront Advanced Visualizer. RLAs are output files storing 3D data and used for exchanging graphical data with other applications. They store several types of information, including images captured from live video, 3D rendered images and graphic images, field-rendered images and multichannel rendered image data.
