WMS:Save GSSHA Project File

The Save GSSHA Project File dialog is accessed by turning on Manage files in the list of other options on the GSSHA Job Control dialog, then clicking 'Edit parameters... to the right of the option. This is an advanced option not normally used if setting up a basic GSSHA model or if unfamiliar with the GSSHA model.

There are several files that are included as a part of a GSSHA project. In some cases, there might be a need to rename a specific index map, other project file, or one of the files saved from WMS. This dialog allows that to be done.

Rows on the various tabs of the Save GSSHA Project File dialog are turned on or off based on whether the applicable features are turned on or off in the GSSHA project. For example, if the option to output infiltration depth is turned off in the GSSHA Output Control dialog, the name of the infiltration depth file name on the Grid output tab cannot be edited. Turning on the option exports the infiltration depth from GSSHA to an infiltration depth file that can then be modified in this dialog.

The dialog has the following options at the top, regardless of which tab is selected:

• Save project file only – Turn on to save only the GSSHA project file.
• XMDF – Turn on to output XMDF data.
• Use relative paths – Turn on to use relative paths instead of absolute paths.

The All row at the top of the dialog allows all of the paths on all of the tabs in the Save GSSHA Project File dialog to be changed at one time. Click Browse... to bring up the Browse For Folder dialog to select the desired folder. Each of the tabs is discussed in the sections below.
