‎Run Kml2Mohid

New page

In this tutorial we will continue to develop the [[How_to_configure_a_2D_model_forced_with_tide_with_MOHID|previously used]] test-case and we will configure the model so it returns a time serie with the water level at the coordinates of our choice on the domain. These time series can then be compared against tidal stations experimental measurements.

==Step 1 - Define the data-acquisition stations==

===Run Google Earth===
[[Google_Earth#Configure_Google_Earth|Make sure you have Google Earth correctly configured!!]]

*With Google earth, choose the locations where there are tidal stations
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/cfbc9e9d-0b21-491a-a718-db046096bb10/2008-10-06_1608.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/cfbc9e9d-0b21-491a-a718-db046096bb10/2008-10-06_1608.png" width="597" height="443" border="0" /></a></htm>
Repeat the process for every tidal station.

*Save the google earth placemarks as a kml file
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/2b66937c-6c87-46c4-a3af-08eb92dc3f13/2008-10-06_1612.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/2b66937c-6c87-46c4-a3af-08eb92dc3f13/2008-10-06_1612.png" width="320" height="252" border="0" /></a></htm>

<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/8e8fa35f-bc08-4b1a-84ef-f72d7c559345/2008-10-06_1613.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/8e8fa35f-bc08-4b1a-84ef-f72d7c559345/2008-10-06_1613.png" width="563" height="412" border="0" /></a></htm>

===Run Kml2Mohid===

*Get the [[Kml2Mohid]] program, edit a [[batch file]], and run the program
<htm><div style="width:100%;text-align:center"><img width="70%" src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/4ed24f90-dd2b-49bb-8a12-4c94c4212ab4/2008-09-25_1847.png"></div></htm>

*Successfully run [[Kml2Mohid]] program to convert the google earth placemarks into a points file.
<htm><div style="width:100%;text-align:center"><img width="70%" src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/629db22c-73c4-4ef8-81b4-b73f94f0216a/2008-09-25_1852.png"></div></htm>

*Sample points (.xyz) file. This what the resulting file should look like:
<begin_xyz>
-9.317324064466845 38.67641458263528 0
<end_xyz>

==Step 2 - Create time serie stations with Mohid GIS==

CENTER_CELL_Y : 38.67645
ORIGINAL_X : -9.317324
ORIGINAL_Y : 38.67641
<EndTimeSerie>

==Step 3 - Configure the model so as to output time series results==

*Open the GUI project
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/cb12f137-4c9c-475d-a89d-ce75713122b0/2008-10-06_1700.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/cb12f137-4c9c-475d-a89d-ce75713122b0/2008-10-06_1700.png" width="220" height="175" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Select the MOHID project
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/9d400510-2d0f-49c6-aef0-530157e0aaf0/2008-10-06_1702.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/9d400510-2d0f-49c6-aef0-530157e0aaf0/2008-10-06_1702.png" width="563" height="412" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Open the Hydrodynamic module
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/97d24a5c-f192-449f-ba97-2b4406f2a27b/2008-10-06_1658.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/97d24a5c-f192-449f-ba97-2b4406f2a27b/2008-10-06_1658.png" width="360" height="214" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Add the following lines to the hydrodynamic configuration file, then save and close
TIME_SERIE : 1
TIME_SERIE_LOCATION : D:\Users\Soussou\GeneralData\TimeSeries\StLouisTimeSeries.dat

==Step 4 - Run the model again and inspect the time-serie results==

===Run the model===
If all is correctly configured, and all the input files are double-checked, we can hopefully start running our model!

*Select ''Tools'' from menu, then ''Launch Mohid...''
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/6e5c5742-0f44-4538-8d57-9b25886c2acd/2008-10-06_1228.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/6e5c5742-0f44-4538-8d57-9b25886c2acd/2008-10-06_1228.png" width="785" height="231" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Select the ''Run_1'', then select ''Run Mohid'', then select ''Launch after Ok'', then click on ''Ok''
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/a4180c38-199d-48e8-8e40-e5d0684c0785/2008-10-06_1230.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/a4180c38-199d-48e8-8e40-e5d0684c0785/2008-10-06_1230.png" width="616" height="617" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Supervise the screen-outputs to check for any error, or to simply read the estimated end time of simulation
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/f536ea29-1ca2-4929-8dd4-3660f5a5bdb8/2008-10-06_1235.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/f536ea29-1ca2-4929-8dd4-3660f5a5bdb8/2008-10-06_1235.png" width="668" height="427" border="0" /></a></htm>

===Inspect the time-serie results===
*Click on the HDF analysis mode icon, then double-click on any new .srh file, which is a time serie result from the model that can be opened with the [[Time Series Editor]] program that comes bundled with the MOHID suite.
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/1ea6957c-2987-4d63-8653-ce588de76235/2008-10-06_1706.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/1ea6957c-2987-4d63-8653-ce588de76235/2008-10-06_1706.png" width="467" height="163" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Select ''elevation'' then click on ''Ok''
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/600af226-0e1e-49c9-b2a5-730d3ab427f2/2008-10-06_1912.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/600af226-0e1e-49c9-b2a5-730d3ab427f2/2008-10-06_1912.png" width="400" height="425" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Select the .srh file present, then click on ''Draw Chart''
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/1ea30144-725d-4ecb-a553-eb63d822d828/2008-10-06_1913.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/1ea30144-725d-4ecb-a553-eb63d822d828/2008-10-06_1913.png" width="544" height="407" border="0" /></a></htm>

*Inspect and admire the plotted time serie results :)
<htm><a href="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/9ca0ca52-6ba6-4e9a-a709-c43156a30358/2008-10-06_1915.png"><img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/GRiflet/folders/Jing/media/9ca0ca52-6ba6-4e9a-a709-c43156a30358/2008-10-06_1915.png" width="576" height="361" border="0" /></a></htm>
