Change Log Kalypso 12.11

Changes since: Kalypso-11.6

Kalypso Platform

Items that improve Kalypso in general.

The tool for selecting features in a map now has a 4th selection mode: 'Hover'. In this mode, the selection follows the mouse cursor without need for a click in the map.
Support for GML 2 has been dropped, Kalypso currently supports GML 3.1. The GML parser has been reworked to use less memory and has less performance impact during startup.
Kalypso now supports the 'M' type of ESRI Shape files (POINTM, POLYLINEM and POLYGONM). The 'M' part is not used or stored in Kalypso, but at least Kalypso is able to read these kind of shape files.
The build process of Kalypso has been optimized to reduce the size of the Kalypso installation by about 40%.
Raster painting has been optimized and can be made even faster by choosing the right options in the user preferences.	Very fast raster painting using a coarse pixel resolution of 10. Nice but slower raster painting using bilinear interpolation.
Importing map data into workflow projects has been generalized and improved. Importing map themes (like ESRI Shape, WebMapServer) is now uniformly available in all workflow projects via the map outline (green +). New functions are the new theme is added at the current selection in the outline, even in sub-themes more theme types are available (legend, sub-themes, etc.) Shape import now automatically creates a local style definition for the imported shape which can be edited via the style editor.	New and improved layer types of Kalypso
WebMapServers in Kalypso now are shown in the map outline with all wms themes as sub-layers that can be individually switched on/off. If the WMS supports legend icons, they are shown in the legend.	Sub-Layers of the OpenStreepMap WMS shown in Kalypso's map outline

Consumability / Reliability

Items that make it easier for users to get Kalypso, install it on their systems, and configure it for their use.

Improved installation process. Separate installers for 32bit and 64bit systems are now available. The data workspace is now saved in the user profile by default.

KalypsoHydrology

The user interface of KalypsoHydrology has been completely reworked and uses now the workflow approach of Kalypso1D2D, Risk and Flood. New features include new time-series management based on stations and parameter types validation of time-series during import support of catchment models to produce simulation time-series (e.g. rainfall). Support for Thiessen and Inverse-Distance Methods. data management completely reworked in order to prevent redundant data models support for scenario based data management in order to manage various variants of the hydrological model creation and management of simulations including start conditions tremendously improved new result management for easier comparison of result time-series. Please refer to the new KalypsoHydrology manual for the new functionality.

New user interface of KalypsoHydrology

KalypsoWSPM

The cross section legend view now selects the first entry when first shown. It also remembers which layer was shown when the selected cross sections changes. I.e. if the user browses through the cross sections, the legend keeps the selected element.	Cross Section Legend
The current mouse position is now always displayed at the bottom-right of the profile chart.	Position in profile chart
A new tool allows to interpolate (and extrapolate) missing profile point geometries.
A new tool in the map allows to interactively select profile points. Either a single position within a profile can be selected, or a range between two positions. The selection is synchronized with the selection of the profile table. An analogous tool has been implemented for the profile chart.
The map view and chart view now support a profile cursor that shows the current mouse position within a cross section. The cursor can be separately activated and deactivated for each view. If the cursor is activated in both views, the cursor position is synchronized between the two views, which allows to see the mouse position of the map in the chart view of a cross section.
Two new tools allow to insert new points into a cross section via the map and the chart. The new point is inserted at the mouse position and its parameters are interpolated from it's neighboring points.
It is now possible to import water bodies from a shape file. The import allows to update existing water bodies as well as to import new ones. The import reads reference number, label, description and rank from the attributes of the shape. In particular, the imports allows to import a center line into the WSPM model. The center line will be basis for a number of future functions of WSPM.	Preview of imported water bodies
It is now possible to work with roughness (soil and vegetation) classes instead of values. The classes are defined at a central place in the wspm project.	Central definition of roughness and vegetation classes Assigning a roughness class to a profile point
The old functionality of roughness assignment has been replaced by two new features: a new landuse shape file import: import landuse shape files into a wspm project and assign roughness and vegetation classes to attributes of the shape file assign landuse to profiles: select a previously imported landuse shape and assign the roughness classes accordingly to it's assignment between shape attributes and roughness classes the new features works identical for soil and vegetation roughness.	Importing a shape file as landuse and mapping shape attributes to roughness classes Assigning roughness classes to a profile using a previously imported landuse shape file
EXPERIMENTAL: a new tool allows to derive a river line from its cross sections. At the moment, the method simply concatenates the position of each lowest point of each section.
EXPERIMENTAL: a new export method allows to build smooth bank lines from a river line and marker points (e.g. bank full points) of a set of cross sections. This function relies on a new algorithm that builds a geometric buffer with variable distances for each intersection between a cross section and the river line.	Bank line derived from cross sections and river line
The Manage Elevation Model Tool now supports also triangulated data to be imported into the map. This may be a file in the HMO Format, 2DM-Format or an ESRI Shape (PolygonZ) with triangles.
The Straighten Profile tools straightens a profile between two selected points.	Straighten Profile
The EWAWI+ format is now supported. EWAWI+ profiles can be imported into the model.
The WSPM tree view now shows different symbols for bridges, weirs and culverts.	Icons for profile buildings
It is now possible to define additional energy losses on a per profile basis (missing feature from WspWin resp. Kalypso-1D.exe).	Panel for defining energy losses.
It is now possible to export waterlevel relationships (runoff, area, alpha, etc.), which have been calculated with the calculation option 'steady non-uniform' or 'polynomials', as tabular data (e.g. to excel).	Tabular listing of waterlevel related data, enabled for export.
Cross sections can now be exported into the GAF-Format (Gewässerkundliches Austauschformat, *.gaf). The exporter creates the main .gaf file as well as some associated files as vegetation classes (.bwp) and roughness classes (.kst).

Kalypso1D2D

The channel edit tool has been reworked. New features include: additonal profiles can be added to current work session without loss of already edited data switch between profiles instead of so called segments other small improvements bank lines containing z values are now preferred over linear interpolation of the profile heights	New panel of channel edit tool
There is a new tool (Ditch Generator) for creating a complex system of ditches with trapezoidal geometry from an imported line network (ESRI Shape type LineZ). The line network is buffered twice at specified distances for each network section to generate the lower and upper bank lines of the ditch system. The resulting bank lines are meshed using a semi-structured triangulation algorithm (requires triangle.exe). The area surrounding the ditch network may, optionally, be included in the triangulation. The bottom elevation is then taken from the line network, while node elevations in the surrounding area and the upper bank line are interpolated from the project's DEM.	Generated ditch network
It is now possible to assign a fixed elevation (and comment text) to selected nodes.	Assign elevations
The Import River Profiles workflow point does now enable the user to select a profile format. Next to the Tripple format, the EWAWI+ format is supported.
The simulation log file now shows warnings that occur during pre-processing data for the simulation with RMA-Kalypso. Warnings will be given for missing roughness classes, missing node elevation and others. Selection of a warning will zoom the map to the corresponding mesh element.	Simulation log with improved warnings
It is now possible to import elements from SMS-Format (*.2dm) and ESRI Shape (*.shp, PolygonZ) into the mesh. Imported elements are shown in a preview window and can be validated. Shape elements with more than four vertices are automatically triangulated before imported into the mesh.	Preview of imported mesh elements Validation messages for imported mesh elements Freshly imported and triangulated mesh
Creation of grid meshes with the band generator has be improved. When the 3rd or 4th side of the grid is entered, it is now possible to directly finish the side by double clicking on the end point of the line. The line will be automatically divided according to its opposite grid side.	Third side of grid before... and after double-click with automatically inserted vertices.
The tool for adding a new continuity line has been improved: a preview of the new line is shown while editing the tool prevents invalid results and shows validation messages the algorithm for automatically connecting two nodes has been improved	Preview while editing new continuity line Validation message when line is invalid

KalypsoRISK

A new evaluation methods allows to groups the calculated damages by an arbitrary shape file.

Damages grouped by arbitrary areas

Cross Section Database

See also change log of KalypsoWSPM. Most changes also apply to the cross section database.
Import elevation model data from an external data location. This can be done via the Manage elevation model tool in the map.
Export a source file of an elevation model to an external data location. This can be done via the Manage elevation model tool in the map.
Waterlevel events can now be associated with states. If this is the case for a waterlevel event, it is shown as sub element of the state in the db viewer.	Cross section state with associated water level events
The data model of the database has been completed and is now able to contains all data of a WSPM project. In particular, building properties and profile markers are now preserved when a state is uploaded into the database.
It is now possible to attach arbitrary documents to water bodies as well as state, similar to the way documents could be attached to cross sections before. Attached documents are shown in the feature view and can be opened in a browser window.
It is now possible to import and display two dimensional water levels. The water levels are imported from a shape POINTZ file of water level points associated to cross sections via their station, possibly produced by digitizing water level points from a 2d-waterlevel-tin along section lines. When imported, the water levels are simplified, projected into the cross section geometry and intersected with the sections in order to produce water levels segments to be shown in the section viewer.	2D-water level projected into a cross section
WSPM cross sections now support arbitrary additional section objects that can be shown in the section viewer as lines or points. This feature is in particular used to show all data imported from external formats like .gaf, that is not otherwise represented in WSPM cross sections.	Additional line object shown in section viewer Additional point objects shown in section viewer
