Also note that some older cards may not be supported anymore (I haven't looked up yours): https://faq.dhigroup.com/default.asp?module=Installation+/+Hardware&ID=418

So I dug a little deeper...

The problem arises when manually setting the X-axis "from" and "to" properties (right click, properties, x-axis).

For some reason, the issue is when setting the date to 00:00:00 on the 1st day of any Year-Month (YYYY/MM/01 00:00:00). The date is saved in the .plc as 24:00:00 on the last day of the previous month - which the Plot Composer fails to read correctly. The fix is currently to add 1 second to the DateTime (or not to use the Day 1 @ 00:00:00).

A hotfix to resolve this issue is now available from the hotfix download page (MIKE ZERO hotfix 18-10-2017)

Thanks. The Service Pack 1 update did manage to fix the ASCII problem.

...but now Time Series plots (dfs0) keep losing the Start-time axis (have to manually setup the x/time-axis everytime I open the plc).

Update: Seems like the "name" parameter is populated with non-"UTF-8" encoded characters. Might be ISO 8859-1 but I don't have any luck with the conversion.

It seems like the best solution at the moment is to add a simple program like "Blat" to your batch script. Blat can be setup with most mailbox types, though I haven't tested it myself.

Something like

start /wait C:\"Program Files (x86)"\DHI\2017\bin\x64\MzLaunch.exe model_A.mfm -x
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Blat\blat.exe message.txt -to receive@gmail.com -attach model_A.mfm.log

start /wait C:\"Program Files (x86)"\DHI\2017\bin\x64\MzLaunch.exe model_B.mfm -x
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Blat\blat.exe message.txt -to receive@gmail.com -attach model_B.mfm.log

start /wait C:\"Program Files (x86)"\DHI\2017\bin\x64\MzLaunch.exe model_C.mfm -x
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Blat\blat.exe message.txt -to receive@gmail.com -attach model_C.mfm.log

etc...

Hi C,

Had no luck myself. Would be interested to know if someone has a solution to this.

You have to use the zoom in function (right click > zoom in), then select and drag the area you want to view.

The process is always as follows for FM / dfsu / meshes:
* resize plot to the wanted dimensions or aspect ratio
* zoom in to area to "fill" in the extents.

Plot composer does not feel as intuitive at first, but you'll get the hang of it after awhile.

Cheers

In previous versions (2016 and before) DHI provided scientific documents and step-by-step guides to use their software.

I'm not managing to find any manuals for the 2017 version.

I am specifically looking for documentation on the new mooring analysis and frequencey response calculator modules. Any ideas where I could find these pdf's?

Thanks

Hi Rupak

It appears that the Background data have [i]already[/i] been imported.

When the data is still in the background (not imported) the Water points will be green and the land-boundary will be red.

When you click on the "Import from Background" button and select the data, they will highlight as red.

Clicking again on the "Import from Background button finally imports the data. The imported data will now appear as blue dots (water) and a dark green boundary (land-boundary).

So it appears that your data is already imported.

Update 2: The issue is probably fundamental: The wave series of: 3.2m / 12 sec  isn't a realistic case. The wave-period should be in the order of 15-18sec
