Process PP_Print.log file

Purpose
This tool allows the extraction of information from tables in the “PP_Print.log” file from MIKE SHE pre-processing. The information is saved in up to three shape files containing;

MIKE SHE river links,
Flood code routing,
Drainage routing to river links, depressions and MIKE11 h-points.

The shape files created by this tool are helpful for improving the MIKESHE model setup as detailed below.

River links shape file. River links are usually intended to run at the separated OL flow area boundaries to prevent unrealistic disconnection between the OL and the river components. Also, when the flood coded area is narrow along the branches, flood coded cells must typically be in contact with the river links.
Flood code routing shape file. A typing error in the flood code map may cause the OL water in that cell to interact unrealistically with a far away river, which often causes instabilities, mass balance errors, and the model to crash.
Drainage routing shape file. It only includes the active cells in the drainage component that are not routing to the boundaries. So, the intended drainage conceptualization can be verified. The shape file can be particularly valuable in the case of using the distributed option 3 to detect mistakes as shown in the snapshot below.

Usage
The user must specify the “PP_Print.log” file, which is obtained from the pre-processing and must be located at the same directory as the “Preprocessed.dfs2” file. In the case of drainage to MIKE11 h-points, it is also necessary to enter a result (res11) file from MIKE11.
The free version allows the user to save up to the first 25 elements of the shape files.

Pre-requisites
It requires MIKE ZERO 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017 or 2019 to be installed, but the DHI license is not necessary.
The extra parameter “extended pp print” may be necessary in the SHE file in order to have all tables in the PP_Print.log file. This tool has also been tested with files created in the 2009 release.

Example of use
The screens shown below illustrate the processing of the file “test_case_PP_Print.log” as provided with the installation of the Toolbox. In this case, shape files for river link segments, flood code routing and drainage code routing are created. The input of the associated res11 file was also necessary.
