Product

MIKE Zero

The MIKE suite of models are powerful tools for understanding and solving many water challenges. To make them work, you need data. The data you have for your project, however, may be compiled in many different formats. So how do you get your data into MIKE? 

In this course, you will review the data types used by MIKE models and learn how to format your data to be ready to use for modelling. We will cover types of data, unit systems and file formats. In addition, we will discuss tools built into the MIKE software for importing and transforming data to be model ready.

About MIKE Zero

MIKE Zero is the common name of DHI's Windows-integrated graphical user interface for setting up simulations, pre- and post-processing analysis, presentation and visualisation within a project-oriented environment. 

IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME?

Are you an inland, urban or marine modeller? Are you interested in learning the skills necessary to input and extract data in the MIKE suite of software?  If yes, you will benefit from this free, self-paced course.

WHAT ARE MY EXPECTED OUTCOMES?

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to format time series data in a form that MIKE recognises and select appropriate time series attributes such as time type, value type, item type, and item-unit. You will be able to import time series data into MIKE native formats and understand the basics of spatial data, projection, and coordinate systems. Finally, you will be able to convert spatial data into a form understandable by MIKE and import converted spatial data into MIKE grid (dfs2) files. 

HOW WILL I LEARN?

Each module includes videos, materials, and handouts that you need for model examples and assignments. It will take you around three hours to complete the course at a time that fits your needs and requirements - and from the comfort of your own office, home or any location convenient for you.
