    3626  The information on this DVD and the associated report is intended to assist emergency managers in developing preparation and
    3727  response plans that can be used during a tsunami threat or emergency.

     36  to other locations within the model extent, if desired.

     50  The tsunami wave data on this disk are all derived from events available in the Australian Tsunami
     51  Hazard Map. As this dataset is very large, this DVD only contains the events
     52  described in the report.

    59   The tsunami inundation simulations are based on the Open Source software package called ANUGA.
    60   For more information about ANUGA visit <a href="https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga">https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga</a>.
    61   <p>
    62   ANUGA has been developed and tested under the Windows XP and Linux (Ubuntu, Mint and Red Hat) operating systems. 
    63   ANUGA may also be installed on a Windows Vista system and Debian Linux, but these have not been extensively tested.
    64   <p>
    65   The ANUGA scripts on this DVD require a minimum of 3GB of memory and possibly more, if mesh resolutions are increased. For this reason
    66   we recommend using 64 bit Ubuntu Linux as this operating system can use more than 3GB of memory, whereas Windows XP cannot.
     56  The figures from the report may be found <a href="documents/Figures">here</a>.

     58  <a name="installation"><h3><b>Simulation Installation and Usage</b></h3></a>
    6959
    70   You must install ANUGA according to the <a href="documents/anuga_installation_guide.pdf">Installation Guide</a>.
    71   As the installation procedure comprises a number of steps we suggest that it is carried out by someone with a
    72   basic understanding of how to install software packages on the operating system of choice.
     60  Information for installing and using the simulation is <a href="installation.html">here</a>.
    7361
    74   <a name="simulating"><h3><b>How to run a simulation</b></h3></a>
    75 
    76   This is how a user should run the model on this DVD.
    77   We assume that you are using Windows and will give examples for that operating system.
    78   The translation to Linux is left as an exercise for the student!
    79   <p>
    80   <hr align="left" width="100">
    81   <p>
    82   First, it is assumed you have installed the ANUGA software according to the
    83   <a href="documents/anuga_installation_guide.pdf">Installation Guide</a>.
    84   <p>
    85   <hr align="left" width="100">
    86   <p>
    87   Next, you must copy the entire contents of the DVD to a place in your filesystem. Let's assume
    88   that you want to put the data into <b>C:\ANUGA</b>. You would do this in a Command Prompt window:
    89   <table class="code"><tr><td>
    90     C:<br>
    91     cd \<br>
    92     mkdir ANUGA<br>
    93     xcopy /e X:\ ANUGA
    94   </td></tr></table>
    95   <p>
    96   Of course, you could just drag all files on the DVD (X:\ is the assumed drive letter) to the desired target directory with Explorer.
    97   <p>
    98   <hr align="left" width="100">
    99   <p>
    100   Now you must create an environment variable <b>ANUGADATA</b> that points to the directory you just created:
    101   <table class="code"><tr><td>
    102     set ANUGADATA=C:\ANUGA
    103   </td></tr></table>
    104   <p>
    105   Doing the above in a Command Prompt window is temporary - if you open another
    106   window you will not have the ANUGADATA environment variable defined. To make
    107   the variable permanent you must set it in the <b>Start|Settings|Control Panel|System</b>
    108   tool (<b>Advanced</b> tab).  See the <a href="documents/anuga_installation_guide.pdf">Installation Guide</a>
    109   if you don't know how to do this.
    110   <p>
    111   <hr align="left" width="100">
    112   <p>
    113   At this point you should run the <font color="red">build_elevation.py</font>
    114   script to convert the raw elevation data to a set of 'combined_elevation'
    115   files ready to be used by the ANUGA system. It is possible that you have not
    116   been given the elevation data on the DVD as it is too large. In that case you
    117   cannot run the <font color="red">build_elevation.py</font> script and you
    118   should skip to the next step.
    119   <table class="code"><tr><td>
    120     cd C:\ANUGA<br>
    121     cd project<br>
    122     python build_elevation.py
    123   </td></tr></table>
    124   <p>
    125   When you get to the point of running the model with your own data, you must
    126   run <font color="red">build_elevation.py</font> to recreate the combined elevation files every time
    127   you change the elevation data.
    128   <p>
    129   <hr align="left" width="100">
    130   <p>
    131   Next, you prepare and execute the model:
    132   <table class="code"><tr><td>
    133     python setup_model.py<br >
    134     python run_model.py
    135   </td></tr></table>
    136   <p>
    137   <hr align="left" width="100">
    138   <p>
    139   This should all run to completion, though it may take several days, depending on
    140   the hardware used.
    141   <p>
    142   If you do get an error from <font color="red">setup_model.py</font>
    143   or <font color="red">run_model.py</font> look for some explanation in the log
    144   files, which you should find somewhere under <b>C:\ANUGA\data</b>. Just keep
    145   drilling down from that point until you find a directory called <b>outputs</b>.
    146   The latest directory in <b>outputs</b> should contain a file called <font color="red">screen_error.txt</font>
    147   with an explanation of the error at the end.
    148   <p>
    149   Once the simulation has completed you may view the results using the ANUGA
    150   viewer as described in the <a href="documents/anuga_installation_guide.pdf">Installation Guide</a>
    151   and <a href="documents/anuga_user_manual.pdf">User Manual</a>, run the script
    152   <font color="red">export_results_max.py</font> to generate rasters suitable
    153   for GIS mapping, or write dedicated scripts extracting timeseries at selected
    154   locations.
    155   <p>
    156   The input waves are all derived from events available in the Australian Tsunami
    157   Hazard Map. As this dataset is very large, this DVD only contains the events
    158   described in the report. If other events from the Hazard Map are obtained,
    159   the script <font color="red">build_urs_boundary.py</font> has been designed
    160   to prepare the associated input wave for ingestion into ANUGA.  This script
    161   is documented in the <a href="documents/anuga_user_manual.pdf">User Manual</a>.
    162   <p>
    163   The ANUGA <a href="documents/anuga_user_manual.pdf">User Manual</a> describes
    164   how to use the ANUGA system in general and provides some examples of its use.
    165 
    166   <a name="userslist"><h3><b>How to join the ANUGA user's mailing list</b></h3></a>
    167 
    168   One of the quickest ways to get your ANUGA questions answered is by asking them on the <b>ANUGA-user</b> mailing list.
    169   You can subscribe to the list <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/anuga-user">here</a>
    170   and can view the mailing list <a href="https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=anuga-user">archives</a>.
    171   <p>
    172   It costs nothing to register and you can choose to have list mail sent to you as individual emails or have them batched
    173   into a few emails per day.  You can unsubscribe at any time through the subscribe link above.

    175   <a name="auxscripts"><h3><b>How to use the auxiliary scripts</b></h3></a>
    176 
    177   On this disk there are a selection of auxiliary scripts that you can use to extract various pieces of information
    178   from the generated SWW files.  The <a href="auxiliary_scripts.html">auxiliary scripts</a> page explains how to use the scripts.
    179 
    180   <a name="FAQ"><h3><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h3></a>
    181 
    182   There is a <b>Frequently Asked Questions</b> (FAQ) page at
    183   <a href="https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions">https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions</a>.
    184   Look in here and search the mailing list archives before asking questions on the ANUGA user's mailing list.
    185   Someone may already have asked your question!
    186   <p>
    187   Note that you can edit the FAQ pages, so it is helpful if you can update the FAQ with your question and its answer if you feel
    188   it would be helpful to others.
