Schema version

The schema version shows the database schema version. The database schema is the definition of all tables, columns, and data types. If changes to the database schema are made, tools in the 3Di Modeller Interface will ask you to migrate the spatialite to the newer database schema version. This migration will add or delete the tables and columns that have been changed.

Note

Do not change the schema version manually! Use the processing algorithm Migrate spatialite.

Version number	version_num	Text	No	-	Number determining which schematistion version is used, left-padded with zeroes to four characters.

Vegetation drag settings

The vegetation drag table contains the input parameters that are used for 2D flow with vegetation. For an in-depth explanation of how 2D flow with vegetation is calculated by 3Di, see 2D flow with vegetation. For more information on using vegetation in your 3Di model and choosing the right parameter values, see How to model vegetation.

Vegetation drag can only be used with friction type ‘Chezy’, because the vegetation formulation (initially introduced by (Baptist et al., 2007)) uses Chezy.
