Specification of output files

In the Results dialog you first specify how many output files you wish to pro­duce from the simulation (maximum is 18). You can then specify the contents of each data file:

·         Specify the output files type: 0 (point series), 1 (line series) or 2 (area series).

·         Specify the spatial and temporal sub-set of the data. This is best done using the pop-up dialogs, which is activated with the buttons in the col­umn after the 'Time' column. Grid line series (type 1 data files) is speci­fied by choosing identical 'First Point' and 'Last Point' in either 'J direction' or 'K direction'. For points series (type 0 data files) you can choose the number of points in each file.

·         Specify the data file (name) and title of the output file.

·         Finally select the desired output items.

Note: The selection of the first item (Water level) or first three items (Water level, P flux and Q flux) correspond to the standard 'level' (Data type = -1) or 'level and flux' output files (Data type = 1), respectively. When storing your own selection of items (e.g. Velocity or Shear Stress in the two directions) the data type is set to 0.
If the dfs2 file is created as a standard “level and flux” file then other MIKE Zero components such as Plot Composer, Result Viewer and the MIKE Zero Toolbox statistics can display and process other variables - surface elevation and velocities - derived from these items.
