Simulation Results are stored in result files and the location as well as file names may be defined either using default definitions from MIKE HYDRO or using user defined folders and file names.
Overall, three settings can be made:
· Definition of Result folder path
· Definition of Result file names
· Definition of storing frequency of results
Details on result folder path specification
The ‘Use default result folder’ checkbox will determine whether you will use the default defined result folder path or wish to define a result folder path manually.
The default suggested result folder path will appear only after the MIKE HYDRO file has been saved initially. Default folder path is then created as a sub-folder to the folder where the .mhydro file is located. The name of the sub-folder will be a mix of the mhydro file folder name and path as indicated in the following example.
Example: A MIKE HYDRO setup file with the name ‘WB-sc1.mhydro’ has been saved to the location; ‘C:\projects\WB-CC\Models’. In this case, the proposed default folder will be:
‘C:\projects\WB-CC\Models\WB-sc1.mhydro - Result Files’
To make a user-defined file path definition it is required to deactivate the checkbox and then use the 
button to browse for required folder. Press ‘OK’ when the correct folder has been located and result files will then be saved to this specific folder during simulation.
Details on result file name specifications
The ‘Use default names’ checkbox defines whether the default proposed file names or user-defined file names for results are used.
The default proposed result file name is created from the user-specified string in the ‘Title’ text-field in the ‘Simulation specifications -> Description’ page of the tree view, and the default result file name can hence be adjusted by editing the ‘Title’ definition of the project file.
Additionally, the specific type of simulation is included in the default file name to distinguish between multiple result files created in one simulation (see example below)
Example: The user has defined the following ‘Title’ in the mhydro file: ‘CC scenario 1-A’. This will result in the following default result file names:
River module result file names:
- – HD results: ‘HD_CC scenario 1-A.res1d’
Result file-types for the MIKE HYDRO modules is:
· River module: ‘.res1d’
Note that simulation results with a title already used will overwrite the existing results unless a new result folder/file has been specified.
To make a user-defined result file name definition, simply deactivate the checkbox specify the requested result file name in the file name edit field.
Note that Rainfall runoff (RR) result files are per default saved to .res1d file format, but may alternatively be saved to .dfs0 time series format. To achieve the latter, simply define a user-defined file name and change the file extension to .dfs0.
River module simulations allows the user to define a frequency for results stored during simulation.
The storing frequency is typically of concern when a simulation includes a large number of time steps which are not all relevant to present and analyse in a post-processing session following the simulation.
To limit the size of the result files the user can specify an interval for saving of results to the result files. The storing frequency may be specified either as the number of time step intervals between each saving of the results or as a specific time. The latter, however, demands that the specified storing time frequency is a multi plum of the time step.
Note: When the Advection-Dispersion simulation is decoupled from the Hydrodynamic simulation, the reference time step used for the storing frequency of the AD result file is the time step of the input Hydrodynamic result file. For example, if this Hydrodynamic result file stores one time step every hour, and if the AD storing frequency is set to 2 time steps, it will save AD results every 2 hours.
