Output
To make sure the amount of output produced by SOBEK is no more than needed, it is important to uncheck all unnecessary output creation. If only water depth is needed in 2D then only have this option checked.

Please note that the rainfall, evaporation and , wind, wqmeteo time series should be all in one separate single XML file, so one for all rainfall series, one for all evaporation series and one for all wind series (speed and direction both in one file).
Rainfall series are always converted independent on the parameterID, where all locationIDs are converted to meteo stations. Evaporation works the same. Regarding wind series, the adapter looks for the following time series:
...
type | description |
|---|---|
undefined | not allowed as type |

rr_temperature | temperature for the RR module, should be a single PI file |
1d_flow_lateral_dat_file | Converts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a 1D flow lateral.dat file. The PI locationID should be used to map to the lateral IDs (any type). The parameter (and qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK lateral .dat file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions. |
rr_boundarytable | rainfall-runoff boundary node, water level time table. Note: a dummy salt concentration of 0 mg/l will be used! |
| 1d_flow_boundary_dat_file | Converts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a 1D flow Boundary.Dat file. The PI locationID should be used to map to the boundary IDs. The parameter (and qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK boundary.dat file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions. |
| 1d_flow_control_def_file | Converts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a 1D flow control.def file. The PI locationID should be used to map to the control def IDs (of time controller type). The parameter (and qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK control.def file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions. |
| 1d_flow_profile_def | changes the reference to a cross section definition in profile.dat. The sobekObjectId should refer to the record in the profile.dat, while the classFile(s) refer to the records in the profile.def. Typically used in batching runs with varying cross sections per run. |
| greenhouse_water_usage_file | Convert the complete contents of a PI xml file into the \sobek\fixed\3b\KasGebrData.Dat file, which is referred to in the sbkbatch.ini key [General]KasGebrDataFile=.... In delft_3b.ini [Options]NewFormatKasdata should be -1 and greenhouse node definitions should be setup to using this new format (which is not supported by the GUI). All series in the XML are converted to update existing definitions in the KasGebrData.Dat. Note that this file is not register to in the case registry ,so updating this file may affect other cases too. Only definition with single column tables are supported. The PI locationID should be used to map to the kasgebr IDs . The parameter (and qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK kasgebr file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions. |
| rr_runoff_rnf | Converts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a *.rnf file. Can only be used in case also a rainfallfile is used, so sbkbatch can write it to the same base file name as the RR module uses that. |
| rr_openwater_target_level_timetable | Converts one individual timeseries into a OW_T table in openwate.tbl |
| rr_openwater_target_level_timetable_file | Converts a complete PI xml (so all timeseries) into a OW_T tables in openwate.tbl, based on locationid |
| rr_timecontroller_tbl_file | Converts a complete PI xml (so all timeseries) into a INST tables in struct3b.tbl, based on locationid |
| 1d_flow_trigger_def_file | Converts a complete PI xml (so all timeseries) into a CNTL tables in control.tbl, based on locationid |
| wq_meteofile | Converts a complete PI xml (so all timeseries) into a Delwaq format file (based on parameterid, locationid is ignored). This file is called wqmeteo.mwq and is included in the delwaq wq computation |
Flow_dam and Flow_dambreak should be triggered by time series with non-missing values. The flow_dam should have timeseries where the location id is equal to the reachsegment id. The adapter creates the weir/dam at this segment. The time series values represent the height of the weir. This is automatically added to the bed level to get a correct crest level of the weir.
The dambreaks can be created at all node types that are calculation points (fixed and regular calculation points, connection nodes and linkage nodes). The time series that trigger a dambreak should contain by default missing values, but a -1 for a dambreak at the left side, a +1 for a dambreak at the right side. The adapter creates a new reach to represents the dambreak. At this reach a weir structure is placed, with a crest level that will be lowered at the start of the dambreak.
Notice that using dams or dam breaks will make that the restart files do not fit anymore with the network and will be neglected.
| 1dwq_boundary_concentration_timetbl_file | Converts a complete PI xml (so all timeseries) into ..\work\boundwq.dat, using location and parameter IDs. Note that (unlike with other complete file conversions, like 1d_flow_control_def_file etc) the file is fully converted only and not updated! That means that definitions which are not in the PI xml file, not will be converted. |
| 2dwq_boundary_concentration_timetbl_file | Converts a complete PI xml (so all timeseries) into ..\work\2DBNDWQ.DAT, using location and parameter IDs. Note that (unlike with other complete file conversions, like 1d_flow_control_def_file etc) the file is fully converted only and not updated! That means that definitions which are not in the PI xml file, not will be converted. |

The The flow_lateral_dat_file has some special features. This routine reads the network.cn file to know the type of the laterals (FLNO, FLBR, FLDI) and then creates a complete new lateral.dat file, based on the series PI-XML file. In case a time series is not in the XML file, the original definition is re-used. However, this method is not very efficient so this whole flow_lateral_dat_file routine is most efficient in case you convert ALL the laterals. The locationID is used as the required lateral id. The parameterId is not used, although you can use it to parse the interpolation option to the definition. Therefore include the string "block" in to the parameterId, so the routine knows that the block interpolation option should be used. Default interpolation option is linear. It is of course (in operational systems) not possible to define a periodicity.

How to run a model in Ensemble mode?
...
Notice that this functionality is available only since SbkBatch.exe version 2.1.0.112
Problems/Solutions
SbkBatch seems to hang at startup and use a lot of cpu power
This may happen if sbkbatch cannot write it's diagnostics file. Check if the directory is present and if it is readable by the adapter. The location of the diagnostics file is set in the general section of the xml configuration file:
...
<fewsDiagnosticsFile>Logs\Diagnostics.xml</fewsDiagnosticsFile>
...
Installation and latest version
The adapter software is installed as part of the SOBEK installation in the Programs folder. However, due to various features extensions, a later version of the SbkBatch.exe (and the corresponding sobekAdvancedBatch.xsd) can be needed. Therefore the latest version of both can be found here:
