Simulation

After the Talsim NG model has been completely created, the settings for the simulation can be defined (time step, etc.) and the simulation can be started. The exact procedure differs depending on the simulation type. Standard simulation types can be configured and started directly in the GUI (the dataset is then exported in the background as an Ascii dataset, talsimw.exe is started and the results are imported back into the database). For other simulations the model must be available as an Ascii dataset, possibly with additional files. They can only be started directly via the executable program file talsimw.exe:

Type of simulation	Configuration in GUI possible	Running from GUI possible	Additionally needed files	Description
Long-term simulation	x	x		Continuous simulation mostly with time series as load (also with const. hydrographs)
Short-term forecast	x	x	*.pro	Event-based simulation with model rain or flood waves as load
Variations	x		*var, *upd	Several calculation runs in which individual model parameters or simulation settings are varied. Can be calculated as a long-term simulation or as a short-term forecast
Scenario simulation			*.sce, (*.paf, *.vol, *.dat, *.zf)	Several calculation runs as scenarios of different loads (Flood wave: *.paf, Time series: *.zf) and Starting conditions (Storage volume: *.vol, Start date *.dat). Can be calculated as a long-term simulation (*.zf) or as short-term forecast (*.paf).
Temperature modelling			*.tem	Long-term simulation in which additionally the heat transport and the heat transfer between water and air is calculated
