It might be that you are trying to use too many licenses at once.

It might also be some other issue related to parameterization or mass balance errors.

What you can do is look at the log files in the Setup_Process_n directory in your autocal setup directory, and see if the log file says why the simulation failed.

Hello.

As a follow-up to this question, my current model has a few different soil zones, and the vertical discretization varies vertically in each zone in order to add finer discretization at each layer interface along the vertical profile.

When I look at the results, either directly from the 3DUZ.dfs3 file, or from a 2D timeseries extracted from it, the results are displayed with uniformly sized grid cells, even though that is not the case in the model setup.  You can see in the attached image that one zone is misaligned with the other, even though they extend to the same vertical depth (~12 m).

I am wondering if there is some way to plot a cross section from the 3DUZ.dfs3 file with vertical discretization sized (scaled) as specified in the model setup under Unsaturated Flow > Soil Profile Definitions.

If there is a solution that would involve some post-processing outside of MIKE  as well I am interested to hear that also.  I think I could do it if I could somehow extract the 3D grid of vertical discretization, or a 3D grid of actual depth instead of just the cell numbers.

Thank You

Does anyone on this group have experience with using coupled FEFLOW-MIKE 21?

If so, have you used MIKE SHE?

I currently use MIKE SHE for distributed watershed modeling and am wondering what the best use case scenarios are for each?  Pros/cons for each?

Many thanks!

Hey Firas,

Surely you are measuring precipitation over some time period?

Or are you wanting to use a constant rate in absence of observed data?  You can use a constant rate also.

I would think it would be fairly easy then to convert the data to a rate.

I would like to simulate a deep water table without explicitly including a deep vadose zone in order to limit computational time.

In other software, I usually do this with a unit gradient lower boundary condition.

Is there any way to do this in MIKE SHE, or any other way to simulate a deep water table without actually including computational nodes between my depth of interest and the deep water table?

Thanks,

Is there any way to set up AUTOCAL such that one does not have to re-run the Setup_Process_n models to diagnose failed simulations?

e.g. write last few lines of a log file to AutoCalSimErr.dat or something like this?

I have gone through the manuals and not found much.

Is there any way other than using GeoScene 3D to view computational layers in MIKE SHE?  So far all I can do is view by layer as a rectangle grid from the  ...3DUZ.df3 file, but this doens't show any of the bedding topography, which I need to see to really understand that the model is set up correctly.  If not, can students using the labkit obtain a license to use GeoScene3D?

Thanks for any help!

I have had some issues like this and it is usually one of two things:

1.  You are running too many simulations (check your license to see how many seats).

2. You are starting in a directory that you already ran an AUTOCAL simulation in, and that causes some permissions issues?  I have found when I delete all but the essential files before a run (delete all previous output files, except for in 'setup' directory), this error stops.

1.  You can get a profile series from gridded results using the Profile button at the gridded Results Viewer as per the attached image (MIKESHE_ProfileSeries.jpg).  Is this an average along the profile line (I think so but would like to confirm)?  Is there any way to get grid values along the line instead?

2.  You can generate a cross section of some variables by viewing the xxx_3DUZ.df3 file (MIKESHE_kl-Projection.PNG).  Is there any way to create a time series video of such images?

3.  Is there any way to output a 3D or 2D non-binary result file, or any existing extraction utilities so that post processing and visualization can be done in a more custom way?


Thanks,
