A model simulation in AutoCal can be defined as a sequence of individual model runs. For example, a modelling sequence may consist of a hydrodynamic (HD) model simulation followed by an advection-dispersion (AD) model simulation that uses the HD output. In this case two individual model runs must be defined in the Model simulation sequence table, including the HD run in the first row and the AD run in the second row. Another typical example is a simulation followed by the extraction and savings of simulation results at measurement points to DFS0 files.
AutoCal will execute MIKE Zero based numerical calculation kernels as well as any executable (.exe) or batch (.bat) file. In this case the model simulation file for the numerical engine (e.g. a .sim11 file for a MIKE 11 run and a .m21 file for a MIKE 21 run) or the name of the .exe or .bat file must be specified in the Model simulation sequence column.
If the executable file requires arguments, such as an input file name or some simulation options, these are written in the Optional arguments column.
For post-processing of model results, AutoCal can extract time series from 1D (dfs1), 2D (dfs2) and 3D(dfs3) result files using the MIKE Zero Toolbox. The toolbox action is saved as a .mzt file and can be executed by AutoCal by specifying the .mzt file in the Model simulation sequence table.
In MIKE SHE and MIKE 11 HD you can specify time series output that can be used directly by AutoCal.
To extract time series of other MIKE 11 variables from a MIKE 11 result file, the res11read.exe program can be used. The Model simulation sequence column should then include the res11read input file (.res11read), which specifies the data to be extracted from the res11 file and saved in a dfs0 file. This file should contain the following:
-silent -someresSpecFileName -MakeDfs0 Res11FileName Dfs0FileName
where SpecFileName is the name of the file that contains specifications of the data to be extracted from the .res11 result file (item, chainage and rivername), Res11FileName is the name of the .res11 result file, and Dfs0FileName is the root name of the dfs0 file where the extracted time series are to be saved.
Note the Dfs0FileName file name must not include the .dfs0 extension.
Note the relative path names should be used for the specified files.
More information about the res11read application program is given in the MIKE 11 User Guide, Appendix B.
