SLOSH Model Help Needed!

[byu004]

Deal all,

I am a wind engineer and working on hurricane wind/surge analysis. I need your kind help for the SLOSH program.
After executing the SLOSH model, using the following:

*** Execute the BATCH file : "runme.bat"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
@echo off
echo "RUNNING HUGO"
..\bin\stm2trk hugo.stm hugo.trk 59 70 76
..\bin\sloshDos hchs ..\sloshbsn hugo.trk hugo.rex hugo.env

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I got the output files including hugo.env and hugo.rex.

When I run SLOSH for many hurricane tracks, I only need the water level height (*.env data). To save disk space and run SLOSH faster, I do not need to execute the animation subroutine (*.rex) and export the *.rex file every time. Would you please tell me how to set the parameter in batch file (or other changes) to get the *.env results only?

By the way, following is another unsuccessful trial:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
@echo off
echo "RUNNING HUGO"
..\bin\stm2trk hugo.stm hugo.trk 59 70 76
..\bin\sloshDos runme2.lst ..\sloshbsn 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
My "runme2.lst" is
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
buff1
buff2
buff3
hchs, hugo.trk, hugo.rex, hugo.env
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I highly appreciate your time and your kind help!

Best Regards.

I wonder if Derek or wxman57 would know? Maybe you could sent them a pm to see if they can help. Otherwise, hopefully someone will come along soon for you that knows. Good luck!

Sounds like one of those Nigerian emails.

SLOSH is merely a display program, so you're not saving any time running that batch file. Unless you're running it on a pre-Pentium CPU, then it displays instantly on any PC built in the last 10-15 years. And it doesn't take up hardly any disk space compared to most programs.

I have a few questions, first:
1. What are you trying to accomplish? This is my main question. Since you're running Hugo's .rex file, I assume you're checking to see how a specific location did during Hugo's landfall?

2. What version of SLOSH are you running? Did you get the new version released in June of this year?
