WMS:MODRAT WMS Interface

The objective of the interface developed in WMS for the MODRAT model is to provide graphical representation of MODRAT data, as well as automate the definition of many of the required parameters. Many of the basic input parameters are computed as part of WMS’ basic functionality. Additionally, specialty functions have been added to WMS to enable the usage of MODRAT directly with WMS. Several custom dialogs and menu options have been developed in WMS to facilitate the definition of MODRAT input data. Furthermore, MODRAT can be launched directly from WMS through menu options. These menus can be found in the Hydrologic Modeling Module under the MODRAT heading.

MODRAT Menu

When the MODRAT model is active in the hydrologic module, the MODRAT menu can be used. The menu has the following commands:

• Open MODRAT File
• Save MODRAT File – Saves all MODRAT input data to standard MODRAT input files.
• Check Simulation – Brings up the MODRAT Model Check dialog which will display any errors found in the simulation.
• Run Simulation – Launches the MODRAT Run Options dialog for starting the model run.
• Read Solution – Launches a file browser to load in MODRAT solution files.
• Job Control – Opens the MODRAT Job Control dialog where model run parameters are set.
• Numbering Tree – Brings up the MODRAT Renumber dialog to initiate the numbering process.
• Edit Parameters
• Compute Tc
• Map Attributes
• Insert Tree Spacing
• Debris Production/Bulking
• Create Burned Simulation
