Analysing simulation results in the Rana Desktop Client

The Rana Desktop Client offers a range of tools to visualise and analyse computational grids and simulation results. These tools are available from the Rana Results Analysis toolbar and from the Rana groups in the Processing Toolbox.

These tools relate the time series of the flow variables (water levels, volumes, velocities, discharges, etc.) that are stored in the output files to the nodes and flowlines in the Computational grid.

Tools for analysing results in the Rana Desktop Client

• Load results as WMS layers
• Download results
• Load and visualise results
• Water depth and water level rasters
• Total discharge crossing a line
• Plot time series of flow variables
• Side views of models and results
• Time aggregates of simulation results
• Water balance of an area of choice
• Upstream and downstream catchments for any given location

Note

Before October 1st, 2023, a deprecated plugin called 3Di Toolbox was used for analysing results. Users familiar with the 3Di Toolbox, but new to its successor Rana Results Analysis are advised to read the Transition guide for 3Di Toolbox users.
