Hardware Requirements

3 GETTING STARTED

3.1 Hardware Requirements

MIKE 21 is available for PCs with Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition(1). The recommended minimum hardware requirements are:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (or later) is required for network license management (if purchased) as well as for accessing the Online Help.

3.2 Installation

To install a MIKE Zero product safely, please follow the instructions given below for installing MIKE 21. Installation of other MIKE Zero products are similar:

1 If you have a previous version of any MIKE Zero product installed, e.g. MIKE 21 Release 2004, you must uninstall it first. This is done in the standard Windows way from 'Control Panel → Add/Remove Pro-grams'. After uninstall some files probably remain in your MIKE Zero directories, e.g. 'C:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\' and 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\DHI\MIKEZero\'. Make a backup of any personal files you might have placed under these directories, and then delete everything. Make sure that the directories are completely empty.

2 It is strongly recommended that you exit all Windows programs you may have running before running the setup program.

3 To install MIKE 21 Release 2005, insert the DHI DVD into the DVD drive on your PC with the illustrated surface placed upwards. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

1 32 bit applications only. True 64 bit applications is expected to be released in 2006.

Processor 2.0 GHz PC (or higher)Memory (RAM): 512 MB (or higher)Hard disk: 40 GB (or higher)Monitor: SVGA, resolution 1024x768 in 16 bit colourGraphic Card: 32 MB RAM (or higher), 24 bit true colourMedia: CD-ROM/DVD drive, 20 x speed (or higher)File system: NTFS

11

GETTING STARTED

The setup program automatically installs all necessary MIKE 21 files and folders on your PC. Additionally, a 'MIKE 21' group is created, containing icons for MIKE 21 2005 and the Image Rectifier. The 'MIKE 21' group already exists, if MIKE 21 version 2.72b or older was installed prior to the installation of MIKE 21 2005, in which case the MIKE 21 2005 and the Image Rectifier icons are just added to the group. That is, you do not need to uninstall your possible MIKE 21 / MIKE 3 / LITPACK version 2.72b (or older) as long as you do not install MIKE 21 2005 to the same direc-tory as your possible MIKE 21 / MIKE 3 / LITPACK version 2.72b (or older).

PLEASE NOTE:Multiple versions of MIKE Zero Setup Editors or other MIKE Zero prod-ucts, including components from different versions of these, installed on a single PC may not work as expected and are not supported.

3.3 How to Install MIKE Zero License and Dongle

The MIKE Zero license and dongle will normally be installed during the installation of the software. To use e.g. MIKE 21 in licensed-mode please follow these steps:

1 Make sure that the provided dongle is attached to the computer (paral-lel or USB port).

2 The dongle driver is installed automatically during the setup of the pro-gram.

3 As a new feature, the DHI Software license file (DhiLicense.dat) may be retrieved using the Internet. A working Internet connection and a valid email address are required. The license file may be retrieved in two ways:

During installation of DHI Software

WORKING WITH THE MIKE ZERO SETUP EDITOR

Figure 4.7 'Save As' dialog

IMPORTANT NOTICE: When saving editor files, please specify the full filename including the specific extension for the editor file used. It is essential that all input files are saved with the correct extension.

4.4 Using the Bathymetry Editor

The Bathymetry Editor provides a work environment for creating, editing and presenting detailed digital bathymetries. These bathymetries form the basis for numerical modelling in two and three dimensions using DHI Software’s classical MIKE 21 and MIKE 3 modelling systems.

A detailed description of the dialogs and the scientific background for the bathymetry generation are available in the DHI Software installation at c:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Manuals\MIKE_ Zero\MZGeneric.pdf.

The first appearence of the Bathymetry Editor differs if you create a new set of bathymetry editing specifications compared to opening an existing specification (.BATSF) file.

An example with a step-by-step description of how to create a new bathymetry can be found in the (default) DHI Software installation atc:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Examples\MIKE_Zero\BatE-dit\Exercise1Notes.pdf

22 MIKE Zero

Using the Mesh Generator

4.5 Using the Mesh Generator

The Mesh Generator provides a work environment for creating computa-tional mesh for use in the MIKE 21 & MIKE 3 Flexible Mesh (FM) mod-els. Providing these new generation models with a suitable mesh is essential for obtaining reliable results from the model simulations.

You generate a mesh with the MIKE Zero Mesh Generator. The mesh file is an ASCII file (.mesh extension) that includes information of the geo-graphical position and water depth at each node point in the mesh. The file also includes information about the node connectivity of the elements. All the specifications for generating the mesh are saved in a Mesh Definition File (.mdf extension), which can be modified and re-used.

Figure 4.8 Land/water boundary for a domain covering the Planet Earth

The Mesh Generator includes utilities for importing raw data from various external sources (e.g. xyz soundings, xyz contours, MIKE 21 bathymetries, MIKE C-MAP exported data), or to manually create data by using the built-in drawing tools. To aid the process of editing data and to use for presentations, graphical background images, such as maps, can be imported and overlaid with the mesh data.

A detailed description of the dialogs and standard procedures are available in the Getting Started chapter in the Mesh Generator User Guide, which is included in the DHI Software installation at

C:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Manuals\MIKE_ZERO\MzGeneric.pdf

23

WORKING WITH THE MIKE ZERO SETUP EDITOR

The step-by-step training guide for the MIKE 21 & MIKE 3 Flow Model FM, Hydrodynamic Module (see Section 4.7) may also be useful in the context of mesh generation.

4.6 Using the Setup Editors

The setup editors are used for making input data for simulations and anal-yses. A MIKE Zero setup editor consists of 4 basic elements (see Figure 4.9).

The "Tree View" is used for navigating around in the input data. It may be regarded as a table of contents for the input data. By clicking on the desired location on the tree, a corresponding dialog will appear in the "Dialog Window". The tree may be expanded or folded by clicking the boxes containing a "+" for expanding and a "-" for folding.

In the "Dialog Window" the actual data is given for the current subject of the "Tree View"

The "Error Window" is used for error messages and warnings for obvious errors in the given input data. Clicking on an error message opens the dia-log associated with the error or warning.

The "Run" menu is used for running the analysis. Before starting any anal-ysis or simulation, all input data is checked and cross-checked for obvious errors and saved. The analysis will not start if errors are encountered. Warnings will not halt the analysis.

24 MIKE Zero

Using the Setup Editors

Figure 4.9 Basic elements of the Setup Editors

The error message system in MIKE Zero Setup Editors detects obvious errors in the input. It may be a value too large, too small, or a wrong sign. It may also be more complex error checks as e.g. cross-checking values between 2 dialogs. Green marks in the "Tree View" mean no obvious errors, while red crosses indicate that the corresponding dialog contains an error (see Figure 4.10).

25

WORKING WITH THE MIKE ZERO SETUP EDITOR

Figure 4.10 Error checking in the Setup Editors

More than one setup editor may be open for input and output at the same time, as shown in Figure 4.11. Also more than one version of the same program (here MIKE 21 Flow Model) may be open at the same time.

4.7 MIKE 21 Flow Model, Hydrodynamic Module - step-by-step training guide

In 1994, the construction of a fixed link across Øresund (The Sound) between Copenhagen (Denmark) and Malmö (Sweden) commenced. One of the constraints were that the environment of the Balitc Sea should be unaffected by the link.

Because of the natural hydrographic variability in Øresund, the blocking of the link was investigated using a comprehensive three-dimensional model (MIKE 3).

But also MIKE 21 can be used for the investigation of the impact of new structures to a water environment.

The project from Øresund is used as background for the step-by-step train-ing guide that can be found in the (default) DHI Software installation at

c:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Manuals\MIKE_21\Flow-model\HD\MIKE21_HD_Step_by_Step.pdf.

27

WORKING WITH THE MIKE ZERO SETUP EDITOR

The objective of the training exercise is to set up a simplified MIKE 21 flow model for Øresund from scratch and to calibrate the model to a satis-factory level.

This brings the user through several steps in a normal MIKE 21 applica-tion, including creating a bathymetry, generating boundary conditions and wind files, defining pier resistance and running the actual MIKE 21 simu-lation.

4.8 MIKE 21 & MIKE 3 Flow Model FM, Hydrodynamic Module - Step-by-step training guide

The MIKE 21 & MIKE 3 Flow Model FM (Flexible Mesh) is DHI’s new hydrodynamic flow modelling system aimed at applications within ocea-nographic, coastal, river, estuarine and inland environments. The system comprises both two-dimensional vertically averaged equations (MIKE 21 Flow Model FM) and three-dimensional hydrostatic equations (MIKE 3 Flow Model FM).

The discretization in solution domain is performed using a finite volume method. In the horizontal domain an unstructured mesh is used, while in the vertical a structured discretization is used. The elements can be of prisms or bricks (hexahedrals), whose horizontal faces are triangles and quadrilateral elements, respectively.

A step-by-step training guide is provided with the DHI Software installa-tion. As for the classical flow models (see Section 4.6) the example is based on a project from Øresund, the sound between Denmark and Swe-den. The step-by-step training guide can be found at:

C:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Manu-als\MIKE_21\FlowModel_FM\HD\ MIKE_FM_HD_Step_By_Step.pdf

Using the Plot Composer Editor

MIKE 21/3 Coupled Model FM composes following modules:

Hydrodynamic Module

Transport Module

ECO Lab Module

Mud Transport Module

Sand Transport Module (only 2D simulations)

Spectral Wave Module

A step-by-step training guide is provided with the DHI Software 2005 installation. The guide can be found at

C:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Manuals\MIKE_21-3_Integrated_Models\CoupledModel_FM\ MIKE_FM_Coupled_Step_By_Step.pdf

The objective of the training guide is to setup up a coupled model for Torsminde Harbour, Denmark for studying the morphology changes around the harbour entrance and the adjacent shorelines.

4.10 Using the Plot Composer Editor

If you create a new (blank) plot, the first appearance of the Plot Composer differs from opening an existing plot specification (*.plc) file.

Creating a new plot composition first opens an empty plot (a blank piece of paper). From ‘Plot→Insert New Plot Object’ you then specify which type of plot you want to generate, see Figure 4.15, and an empty (hatched) area corresponding to your specifications appears on your plot.

31

WORKING WITH THE MIKE ZERO SETUP EDITOR

Figure 4.15 Insert Plot Object dialog

To insert a plot into this area, first select (left-click) this area. A right-click in the selected area will open a menu box, see Figure 4.16, from which you select 'Properties'.

Figure 4.16 Selection menu

In the Plot Properties dialog, see Figure 4.17, you specify the file name of the data you wish to plot and make the necessary settings.

32 MIKE Zero

Using the Plot Composer Editor

How to Use the Example Setups

5 EXAMPLES INCLUDED IN THE INSTALLATION

5.1 How to Use the Example Setups

Setting up a model - especially for new users of MIKE Zero 2005 - typi-cally introduces some initial problems on how to schematise the physi-cal/mathematical model, which input data are required, how to combine the hydraulic data and topographical surveys, etc. To reduce the amount of initial difficulties in the process of setting up a model for the first time, it is often beneficial to obtain experience from already existing setups.

In the MIKE Zero 2005 installation guide you will find examples of model setups including all required data input files to perform a simulation with any of the licensed MIKE Zero computational modules.

Input files for the demonstration setups are automatically installed on your computer when installing MIKE Zero 2005. Input data consists of com-prised data files and model bathymetries, boundary definitions, time series data and other parameters, etc.

After installing MIKE Zero 2005, demonstration setups are located in the C:\Program Files\DHI\MIKEZero\Examples-folder (default installation).

The enclosed setups (if more than one) differ from each other in several ways: Different modules are treated, different aspects, facilities, complex-ities, etc. for the respective modules are covered.

5.2 How to Use the Demonstration Setups

A source of inspiration for own projects, or an exercise for inexperienced users to familiarise themselves with the various editor features and func-tions of the MIKE Zero Setup Editor. This could be some of the achieve-ments for users when examining and working with the enclosed demonstration setups from the installation.

MIKE Zero 2005 works both as a Demo version (without a software key and valid license files) and as a Licensed version (with software key and valid license files for one or more of the modules). If MIKE Zero works as Demo version, several limitations apply compared to the licensed version. All editors are accessible and operate as in a licensed version, but restric-tions apply for the model simulations, which can be executed.
