Question:
MIKE URBAN: What does the following warning mean: “WARNING: The network load boundary 'xxx' is referring to a catchment load. Catchment loads are not supported in the network simulation and will be included in the runoff output. This boundary is ignored.”?
Answer:
Boundary conditions work the same way in MIKE 1D as in the MOUSE engine with one exception. In MIKE 1D all catchment related boundaries are calculated with the runoff simulation and all network related boundaries are calculated with the network. This means that the catchment discharge specified under “MOUSE | Boundary Conditions | Catchment Loads…” will be included in the runoff simulation.
In the MOUSE engine catchment discharges were included in the network simulation by using a catchment load referring to a catchment boundary. This functionality is discontinued in MIKE 1D and a warning will be issued that these boundaries are ignored in a network simulation.
When using catchment discharge in MIKE 1D everything is configured on the GUI as previous in the catchment load dialog.
After end of the simulation two result files will be created; One that contains the runoff and one that contains the catchment discharge. Note that the only the RR file is attached as a boundary conditions (either on the simulation dialog or in the network loads) and if the catchment discharge file exists this will automatically be loaded as a boundary as well.
