WMS:HSPF Run Simulation
Once the data for HSPF input has been defined, the HSPF model may be launched from WMS. The Run Simulation item in the HSPF menu will invoke the Run HSPF dialog.
The Run HSPF dialog will allow the user to specify the .uci file, which is necessary to run HSPF. All other files required to run HSPF and to view the output were defined in the HSPF Global Options dialog box.
Once the input file has been defined and you select OK, WinHSPFLt will be executed. A separate window will appear and information about the HSPF simulation will be reported.
If HSPF is not executed successfully when issuing this command, be sure that the path to WinHSPFLt is correct. If HSPF does not run to a successful completion you can view the ASCII output file using the View File command in the File menu to find the error messages.
As the last section of the HSPF tutorial says, if you have viewed or edited the WDM file data, you need to close WMS after saving your HSPF .uci file before running the file in WinHSPF or WinHSPFLt because WMS keeps the .wdm file open. HSPF cannot run the model unless the .wdm is closed in all other programs.
