WMS:GSSHA Multiple Simulations
Overview
Multiple GSSHA models using the same 2D grid can be managed within a single instance of WMS. The models are displayed in the data tree, where the user can edit the job control, precipitation, GSSHA coverage, index maps, and continuous maps.
Job Control - The job control for the active GSSHA model can be accessed from the GSSHA menu item. The job control can also be opened by right-clicking on the job control icon that corresponds with the desired GSSHA model and selecting "Edit".
Precipitation - The precipitation for the active GSSHA model can be accessed from the GSSHA menu item. The precipitation can also be opened by right-clicking on the precipitation icon that corresponds with the desired GSSHA model and selecting "Edit".
GSSHA Coverage - When a GSSHA model is created, it is a assigned a GSSHA coverage (if a GSSHA coverage does not already exist, WMS creates one). To change the assigned GSSHA coverage, right-click on the coverage icon that corresponds with the desired GSSHA model and select the GSSHA coverage that you want to assign.
Index Maps - All index maps for all GSSHA models are shown in the data tree under the grid. To assign a map to a specific GSSHA model, right-click on the Index Maps folder under the desired GSSHA model, select "Assign", and then select the index map that you want to assign. To unassign an index map, right-click on the map and select "Remove".
Continuous Maps - All continuous maps for all GSSHA models are shown in the data tree under the grid. To assign the maps to a specific GSSHA model, right-click on the Continuous Maps folder under the desired GSSHA model, select "Assign", and then select the index map that you want to assign. To unassign a continuous map, right-click on the map and select "Remove".
Solution - Once a GSSHA model has successfully run, the solution is shown underneath the model in the data tree. If the solution already exists, it can be read in by right-clicking on the model's project name and selecting "Read Solution".
Most of the options available under the GSSHA menu are also found in the right-click menu of the GSSHA project in the data tree. When selected from the GSSHA menu, they are performed on the active model. When selected from the right-click menu, they are performed on the corresponding model.
GSSHA Groups
Saving GSSHA Groups - Multiple GSSHA scenarios can be saved together as a group. To do this, right-click on the 2D Grid Folder and select "Save GSSHA Group." A dialog will appear to prompt you to select which scenarios you want to save. You will also need to pick a location for WMS to save the scenarios and the GSSHA Group File (*.ggp).
Opening a GSSHA Group - To open a group of GSSHA scenarios, right-click on the 2D Grid Folder and select "Open GSSHA Group" and select the GSSHA Group File (*.ggp) that you wish to open. This will open each project that corresponds with this group. You also have the option to open the solutions, if they exist.
Running a GSSHA Group - To run multiple GSSHA scenarios, right-click on the 2D Grid Folder and select "Run GSSHA Group." A dialog will appear in which you can select which projects you want to run. These projects will be saved as a group and then WMS will run each GSSHA scenario in the group.
