On this dialog you must specify the Domain under consideration (Berth layout). The required input file is a Bathymetry file of (.dfs2) format. Geographic based map projections where the domain resolution is in degrees are not supported for the domain file or an extracted area from the entire bathymetry, which corresponds to size and position of two-dimensional (2D) forcing files (see Section 1.8).
If using MIKE 21 BW or MIKE 21 Flow Model (both structured grid models) for modelling of wave generated flux, you should use the Bathymetry file from these setups as domain file.
If using MIKE 21 Flow Model FM (un-structured grid model) for modelling of wave generated flux, you will have to map the (.mesh) file into the (.dfs2) format with sufficient resolution.
The geographical information from the (.dfs2) domain file will be fully interpreted and utilized in both the editor and the computational engine, so it is important that you ensure the geographical information of the (.dfs2) grid is meaningfully declared, relative to the utilized map projection.
Once the file is loaded you will see the domain in the projection plane associated with the domain file.
By default the plot extent is set to Automatic, which means that the plot extent will fit the spatial extent of the domain file. But the plot extent can be user defined by setting the plot extent to custom, and changing the values of (Min Easting, Min Northing) and (Max Easting, Max Northing). Increasing the plot extent can be necessary if certain mooring attributes (Bollards and Fenders) are located outside the domain.
Note: Advanced interactive features like Pan and Mouse Wheel based zoom, are available for the most flexible work flow, e.g. when certain details are to be looked up and inspected. These two features become active when you click on the plot and hold down the shift key on the keyboard.
