Delft Dashboard is a standalone Matlab based graphical user interface aimed at supporting modellers in setting up new and existing models. A large number of coupled toolboxes allow Delft Dashboard for fast and easy model input generation. Delft Dashboard allows a model to be set-up in a matter of minutes for every location in the world, operation which used to take weeks of work until short time ago!
The interface is coupled to the Delft3D modelling suite (Deltares), which allows carrying out the hydrodynamics, waves, morphodynamics and water quality computations. Besides the toolboxes to set-up a standard Delft3D computation, additional toolboxes are implemented to carry out advanced tidal analysis, simulate wind speed and pressure drop generated by a tropical cyclone, and simulate generation and propagation of a tsunami.
A general introduction movie to Delft Dashboard, including a number of practical applications, can be viewed through the Open Earth Deltares site
