Multiple Simulations

There are several things to consider when running multiple MIKE SHE simu­lations.

·         If you run simulations one after another, the results files will be overwrit­ten unless you move or copy them first.

·         If you set up multiple simulations using the same MIKE Hydro River or MIKE 11 model, the river results files will be overwritten. To prevent this, you must create different .sim11 or .mhydro files and change the results file name.

·         If you are starting from a Hot Start file, then you need to be careful that the Hot start file you are using is the one you want. The easiest way to ensure this is to change the name of the hotstart file.

·         You can run a chain of models - hot starting from the end of the last sim­ulation. This can be done using a batch command, for example. You can concatenate the results files using the Concatenate Tool in the MIKE Zero toolbox. This will allow you to build up a set of continuous results files that includes the entire simulation. However, you will not be able to create a continuous water balance because the .sheres file will not be correct and the .frf files can not be concatenated.
