Create Flood Simulation Raster
Description
Creates a multidimensional raster dataset in cloud raster format (CRF) from multiple flood simulation raster results saved in a folder. The tool will also create a time enabled mosaic dataset. It is recommended that each output variable is treated independently. The following Flood Simulation output variables are supported:
- Depth (single band)
- Water surface elevation (single band)
- Velocity (two bands – u and v)
Best practice is not to mix different variables in a single CRF. If all three variables are to be processed, run the tool three times and generate three output CRF/mosaic datasets, one for each variable.
Usage
Parameters
| Parameter Name | Type | Direction | Data Type | Dialog Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input Rasters or Folders | Required | Input | Workspace, File, Dataset | Input rasters or the path to the folder containing input rasters. |
| Output Multidimensional Raster | Required | Output | Raster Dataset | The name of the output CRF dataset. Add the .crf file extension when specifying the name of the output raster dataset. CRF datasets cannot be stored inside geodatabases. |
| Target Mosaic Workspace | Required | Input | Workspace | Geodatabase inside which the mosaic dataset will be created. |
| Mosaic Dataset Name | Required | Input | String | Name of the new mosaic dataset. |
| Flood Start Time | Required | Input | Date | Start date and time of the flood. This can be real date and time if simulation is related to a real event or any date that will be used to offset the resulting simulation exported time steps. |
| Number of Bands | Optional | Input | Long | Number of bands the rasters will have in the mosaic dataset and the CRF. This is an optional parameter. If not provided, tool will select based on the type of the input tif files. Typically, this is 1 for depth and water surface elevation variables and 2 for velocity. |
