The Isis to MIKE HYDRO converter is designed to convert the main features of an ISIS set-up to a MIKE HYDRO river set-up. It does not convert all features of ISIS and further there is not a one to one match between MIKE HYDRO river features and ISIS features. Hence the user must inspect the resulting MIKE HYDRO river set-up and further apply model refinements where needed.
The converter has the following data requirements
· The network file (*.*xy) file holds the geospatial information for all the hydraulic elements that make up a river model set-up. Please note that the file does not carry any information with regards to which projection is applied
· The data file (*.dat) file is the main model set-up file. This file contains the various hydraulic parameters describing cross sections, structures, etc.
· The ISIS Execution file (*.ief) is used for setting the time step and the duration of the simulation.
Each of the above files may be selected by use of the browse buttons to the right of the file name field.
The converter requires as a minimum the ISIS data file is present. To generate a network topology and not just the cross sections the network file is also needed. The execution file may be omitted.
ISIS works with a relative time axis i.e. time is measured relative to the start of the simulation date and a time must be provided to the converter. All resulting simulation input files will start at this time.
The simulation duration will be filled if the *.ief file is present. The value is to be given in hours.
If the *.ief file is provided this field will be filled with the time step from ISIS. Please note that the ISIS time step may be smaller than what is typically required by MIKE HYDRO.
The field holds name of the folder in which the resulting MIKE HYDRO set-up will be placed.
