Scenarios

The Scenarios tab contains the set of scenario definitions contained in the model definition. It allows users to know what scenarios are contained in the underlying model artefacts.

Definitions

A scenario definition is a unique name and description of a scenario contained in the underlying water software model. For example, an simple example may be for scenarios "Wet", "Average", "Dry".

A scenario definition is specific to the model defintion that contains it. They are not shared accross model definitions. Multiple model definitons may contain the same scenario individual scenarios but they are treated completely separate in the Model Catalogue.

A scenario definition is a loose concept in the Model Catalogue. The Model Catalogue does not restrict the scope, purpose or context of the scenario it refers to. A water modeller is free to define a scenario as they think appropriate.

The Model Catalogue may contain all or only some of the scenario definitions of the scenarios contained in the underlying software model. Providers are free to choose if only a subset of the models are published into the Model Catalogue.

Furthermore, a scenario definition may refer to a wide varierty of physically different model artefacts. This is because a water modeller may choose to physically represent a scenario in modelling software in a wide variety ways. These may include:

• Scenario Input Sets
• Separate project files
• Input set properties provided to the command line runner.
• Any combination of the above.

This loose definition exists to allow water modellers the flexibility to irrespective of how they are 

The model definitions are managed manually by the provider. There is not (currently) any automated process inspection of the model artefacts to determine any scenarios that are contain within them. The onus is on providers to ensure that the scenario definitons are represented accurately in the Model Catalogue.

Usage

Consumers

Consumers use the Scenarios tab to discover information about the scenarios, assess whethe they that are of interest to them, and then (optionally) request access to the model artefacts.

This tab is read only for consumers.

Providers

Providers use the Scenarios tab to manage (ie createadd/edit/delete) the current models scenario definitions.

The button will prompt the providers to a pop up window to add scenarios. Providers can edit existing scenarios by clicking on the  and the  button will copy the guid of the scenario to the clipboard.

To delete a scenario simply click the  button.
