To run a scenario, do the following:

  • Select the outputs you are interested by recording the parameters

-  Some model outputs (Mean Annual Load, Node Water Balance and Treatment Train Efficiency) are selected by default; these can be turned off by right-clicking on the Scenario's name and selecting Record None.

  • Click Configure on the Simulation toolbar as shown below:

  • You will be presented with MUSIC X configuration window as shown below:

                        -  You can now choose the Included Climate Data to run your model with the available templates.

                        -  You can also provide MUSIC classic meteorological template file (.mlb) clicking on MLB Climate Data tab. 

-  You can also provide your own data clicking on Custom Climate Data tab. You can import rainfall and evaporation data in various format (.CSV, .TXT, .CSV, .XLS and so on). 

  • Run with Warmup: This specify a ‘warm-up period’ for source nodes of a rainfall runoff model. When enabled, this option will ‘pre-run’ the rainfall-runoff model for the first 12 months of the simulation period, in order to equilibrate the initial storage states (pervious area and groundwater) in the model. The warm-up option will only operate when the total period of simulation is greater than 12 months.
  • Once you specify the data, you can run the model for whole time period clicking on Match Data Period or change Start Date and End Date within valid time period as per you need. Then, click Run on the Simulation toolbar to start the simulation run. 


A progress bar as shown below indicates running times during a scenario run.
