MIKE 11 produces results in res11 file whereas AutoCal evaluates objective functions by comparing dfs0 files. Hence the model simulation sequence when using AutoCal together with MIKE 11 is first a MIKE 11 simulation and subsequently a transformation of some parts of the MIKE 11 results saved in the res11-format to dfs0-format. The utility program called res11read performs the transformation from res11 to dfs0. The simulation sequence is therefore defined as follows:
1. ..\Setup\Test3.sim11
2. ..\Setup\ExtractResults.res11read
The ‘ExtractResults.res11read’ file specifies the command for the res11read program. The locations from which simulated concentrations are extracted from the .res11 file are specified in the selection.txt file.
As Model Parameter file, the AD11 file of the MIKE11 setup is specified since that is where the dispersion and decay coefficients are specified. The file Example3\Test3.AD11 is selected and AutoCal automatically generates the template file Example3\Test3_Autocal.AD11. This file edited and the dispersion and decay coefficients are marked for optimisation by giving the values 1.01e-035, 1.02e-035, 1.03e-035 and 1.04e-035.
Finally, the Parameter optimisation is chosen as the Simulation option.
