MIKE View
Release Note - 2009
Welcome to MIKE View Release 2009.
MIKE View is a stand-alone visualization tool for numerical model results from a wide selection of water, stormwater, sewer and river modeling packages:
- any model, which provides standard SWMM 4.4 result files
- any model, which provides standard EPANET 2.0 result files
- DHI products: MIKE URBAN, MOUSE, MIKE SWMM, MIKE STORM, MIKE NET and MIKE 11
All these results can be displayed in combination with time series data imported from other sources - ASCII files, MOUSE and MIKE 11 time series databases, etc.
Data can be presented as e.g.:
- Colored nodes/pipes in horizontal plan plot
- Longitudinal profiles
- Time series and duration curves
- Q-H relations
Animations of planplots, longitudinal profiles and time series are possible.
The recommended minimum hardware requirements are:
| Supported Operating Systems: | XP Professional (32 and 64 bit), Vista Business (32 and 64 bit) |
| Processor: | 2.0 GHz PC (or higher) |

Use of MIKE View^ top
| Hydraulic Model | 1. Create result file from hydraulic model | 2. Open resultfile in MIKE View |
|---|---|---|
| SWMM44(freeware) |
When running SWMM44 Extran you need to change two settings: @ 8 'SWMMout.MST' (You need to specify the output filename) B1 34560 5 0 0 -180 0 0 20000501 (The important change here is the minus at the parameter print cycles in the B1 line - in this case -180) A SWMM44 EXTRAN simulation with command line: swmm44h.exe SWMMin.dat SWMMout.out and the above settings in the SWMMin.dat input file will produce an SWMMout.mst result file. |
Start MIKE View and press File|Convert SWMM result file and select type of result (Extran) and the result file you just created (e.g. SWMMout.mst). Specify the name of the converted result file (*.PRF) Press File|Open.Select file of type MOUSE result files (*.prf) and open your results. |
| EPANET 2.0 (freeware) |
EPANET does not normally save the modeling results to permanent result files. The results are stored in a temporary folder, which name can be changed by selecting File|Preferences in EPANET user interface. Three temporary files are created after running the simulation - with different names but all with the extension *.tmp. One of these - the oldest (first created) is a binary file, which should be renamed to *.RES. The result file do not include geometric information - in order to use the graphical presentation in planplots and profiles you need to create an INP file: export INP file from EPANET by selecting File | Export | Network from within EPANET user interface |
Start MIKE View and press File|Open.Select file of type MIKE NET result files (*.res) and import your results. During import the information in *.INP is also used, while *.xxx is irrelevant |
|
DHI Software: MIKE URBAN MOUSE MIKE STORM MIKE NET MIKE 11 |
MIKE View is Your default result presentation in numerous DHI products, and is automatically installed together with these products. For SWMM 5 result files (produced when using MIKE URBAN it is possible to convert the result file to a MOUSE result file and apply MIKE VIEW on this file.) | |
| Save standard result file(s) | Start MIKE View and press File|Open.Select the relevant file type and open your result file.. | |
Known Defects and Workarounds^ top
