Okay, one more question and then I should be done.

Is there any documentation of the legend for the inundation frequency output? There doesn't appear to be an option to look at this map (and therefore its legend) in the during-run mapping window analysis tools, and I can't find any mention in documentation aside from 30, 60, and 90 days. The GIS output has 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7. 0 is clearly always-wet and 6 appears to be always-dry, but the other numbers are unclear.

When I use a storm surge raster that ends in 00_010.ASC, the program still searches for an 00_100 file. Will SLAMM only run the 10-year if there's also a 100-year to run? Does it run through both? It's not totally clear to me how this is implemented. I was thinking that I could run separate runs: one with the 100-year surge over the SLR period, and one with the 10-year over the SLR period (actually, and one more just using the spring tide over the SLR period) and these would give me what those storms would look like in future years. Is that not what the model is doing?

The user manual calls for the storm surge raster to be in NAVD88. However, I already have my DEM in MTL, so I am not using a datum correction for the DEM elevation. I assume that the surge should be in the same datum as the DEM, but the manual gives me pause since it calls for NAVD. I just wanted to make sure there isn't some additional behind-the-scenes datum conversion going on for the surge (beyond what you might input in the VDATUM file or MTL-NAVD conversion factor)

Hi Jonathan,

Just wanted to give a follow up on this query. I have tried loading the SLAMM 6.7 executable on another computer and I am still encountering the same errors. I am not sure if I have completely missed something. I am accessing the executable from the github: https://github.com/WarrenPinnacle/SLAMM6.7/blob/master/INSTALL/Release/Single/SLAMM6.7_64-bit.exe

I can view the sample Santa Ynez files as rasters in GIS with no problems.
I have also tried using my own .asc files for a new simulation but the files are still not valid (showing in red and the Ncols, Nrows are not being shown) in the File Setup Window.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jackie

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply. I uninstalled and re-downloaded the executable and the sample files to ensure there were no problems in the file path. However, I am still getting the same error. I have changed the installation folder to avoid using C/Program Files.

I have unzipped the folder to a new location and I have loaded the Santa Ynez SLAMM6 file from this new location.
If I press the "Set Map Attributes" I first get a blank window with the heading SLAMM 6.7 beta but there is no text, just an "OK" button. Then the error is returned 'Error Reading Headers for "Santa_Ynez_NWI_5m_531.asc" and I can click "OK" again. Then it opens a window Reading Site Characteristics but there is no progress from 0% and I can click on "Halt Execution".

When I go to the File Setup window then the files are shown with a red background. This remains the same when I let the files be picked up from the folder where the SLAMM6 file is or when I browse and select them through a file path. Pressing "Execute" generates the same error as above after the SLR parameters have been selected.

I might try download it on a different machine and see if I still encounter the same problem.

I downloaded the executable and sample files and was unable to reproduce your problem.   

Are you unzipping all of the files rather than trying to run out of the compressed folder?   
What happens when you press the "Set Map Attributes?"  Do the map and editing tools appear?
What happens under the file-setup window?  Are files showing as red -- invalid or are the list of NRows and NCols shown under each one.
In some cases you must point the file system to the correct file, but this may not be required if the files are in the same directory as the SLAMM6 file.

Good luck!  -- Jonathan

Sorry I misspoke.  The code must be compiled on Delphi XE3 -- my version is Embarcadero® Delphi® XE3 Version 17.0.4625.53395

I cannot port the code to other development platforms at this time.

Hi Jonathan,

Thank-you. Your follow up will be much appreciated.

Jackie

Dear Jonathan,

Thank you very much. I have tried your solutions, as well as tried the older version of Delphi (Delphi XE8 - I have used this one to modify SLAMM 6.2 without any problems), but I got another error related to overloaded. Please see the attached photo herewith. Do you know how to fix this problem? Thank you very much.

Sorry you are having difficulty with the sample files.  I'm out of my office until Monday and I will look at your question then.
