HI

The aim of this instructor-facilitated, online course is to learn the basics of Iron Python and MIKE SDK. Setting up a MIKE model requires multiple input files prepared in the particular formats used by MIKE. Many files may need to be created and updated as

new data becomes available. In addition, once the model is completed and run, data will need to be extracted for analysis. Processing large amounts of data can take

considerable time, and take away from running, calibrating, and understanding the model itself.

Automation of these tasks can be very helpful. Fortunately, the MIKE platform is open to automation using Iron Python and the MIKE Software Development Kit (SDK). These tools can be used to prepare both PFS and DFS type files. In addition, Iron Python is the

standard scripting language built in to MIKE OPERATIONS. Iron Python uses the Python language to access .NET libraries such as the MIKE SDK and MIKE OPERATIONS platform. This course will provide hands-on training in the language how to use it to

automate common tasks for MIKE models and the MIKE OPERATIONS environment.

COURSE METHODOLOGY AND REQUIREMENTS

You are taught via online live sessions by a trainer who actively facilitates dialogue and

discussions amongst the participants. The course combines theory and practice, including

hands-on exercises, lectures, group work and home assignments. Throughout the course,

you will have ample time to discuss tips & tricks, best practices and examples.

A major part of the online sessions is allocated to group work, which is based on the

participants’ home assignments. In order for the group work to be successful and to ensure

you get to know the software at its best, it is mandatory that you allocate a minimum of two

hours of self-study each week, which is in addition to the two hour online training sessions.

Part of the homework will include solving practice assignments. The assignments should be

handed in prior to each session according to the deadline defined by the trainer.

The online sessions are hosted via the Zoom client, a video conference software easily

available for download. Participants will have access to the MIKE OPERATIONS and MIKE

SDK throughout the course.
