MIKE Zero - Pre- and postprocessing
PP Module

MIKE Zero is the common name of DHI's fully Windows integrated graphical user interface for setting up simulations, pre- and post-processing analysis, presentation and visualisation. The MIKE Zero framework gives access to the following DHI modelling systems: MIKE 11,

MIKE 21, MIKE 3, MIKE 21/3 Integrated Models, MIKE Flood, LITPACK and MIKE SHE.

The PP module is a subset of the MIKE Zero setup editor and comprises most of the pre- and post-processing facilities available, except for few add-ons that are purchased separately.

The PP module offers you an integrated work environment providing convenient and compatible routines to ease the tasks of data input, data transformations, and for the analysis and presentation of the simulation results for any of the MIKE Zeros based models and application modules. Included are editors for:

bathymetry and mesh generation (dedicated editors for the different flow model versions)
data viewing and analyses (time series, line series, line and color shaded contours, animations (top view))
graphical editing functionalities
plotting and visualisation (animations) facilities
For example, the MIKE Zero Plot Composer provides you a work environment for creating report quality hardcopy output. Furthermore, some plot controls produce animations that may be created, viewed and stored. MIKE Zero also contains a geodesy facility holding a large number of predefined map projections, which makes it possible to work with different coordinate systems.

Toolboxes

With the PP module follows the MIKE Zero (MZ) Toolbox that includes:

Extraction tools for extractions of time series, profile series and 2D/3D series
Hydrology tools (maximum rainfall, mean area weighting algorithm, normalize rainfall and runoff analysis
Statistics tools for time-, matrix-, or volume series
Time Series tools for interpolation and one year summary
Transformation tools for rotation and interpolation of 2-dimensional data
GIS tools for transforming ESRI ArcView ascii files to MIKE 21 format and model data to GIS grid and shape files
Concatenation tool to concatenate files in dfs format
Similar to the other components of DHI Software extensive User Guides with examples follows these toolboxes.

MIKE 21 Toolbox

When you purchase a MIKE 21 module the MIKE 21 Toolbox is included. This toolbox contains module-related utilities (hydrodynamics, environmental, morphology, sediments, tidal, waves and wind). For example, preparation of transfer boundary conditions, a variety of calculation routines for flow and sediment discharges and for prediction and analysis of tidal heights and currents, including routines for generation of various types of waves, wave spectra and wind fields.

MIKE 3 Toolbox

With any MIKE 3 module follows the MIKE 21 Toolbox and the MIKE 3 Toolbox. This include at present tools for the classic MIKE 3 versions. For example, a border adjustment tool developed to aid adjusting nested bathymetries prior to a nested MIKE 3 Flow Model simulation. A digitizing tool to interpolate irregularly spaced ASCII data into a regular three-dimensional grid and save the results in a type 3 data file.

Finally a LITPACK Toolbox with the efficient tool dfs0scat, which is used for analysis of time series of waves and creation of scatter diagrams. This tool analyze a dfs0 time series file and create scatter diagrams reflecting the distribution of the values for up to 4 items and 1000 classes.
