Writer - DfsuWriter

WriterName: DfsuWriter

This writer writes mesh-based data into DHI's DFSU format (.dfsu).

Converting shapefile to DFSU

When the input is a shapefile, each polygon feature becomes a mesh element in the output DFSU file. Feature attributes are written as DFSU items (numeric values only; non-numeric attributes are written as NaN). The resulting DFSU file has a single static timestep.

Only polygon geometries are used; point and line features in the same file are ignored.
