The next step is to have the models of a simulation communicate with each other. This is accomplished by linking (DSS mapping) the models thru DSS and using a simulation name. From HEC-WAT, the Model Linking Editor provides an easy way to link models including observed data, and provides a mechanism where the linking will have to be done once per alternative.

Model Linking Editor



Open the editor from the HEC-WAT main window. from the WAT Tools toolbar, by clicking the Model Linking Editor button Model Linking Editor Icon. The Model Linking Editor opens. From the Simulation list the user will need to select a simulation. For this example the user will be selecting the Without Project Conditions-RR_Feb1986 (default) simulation.

Now let's link the individual model alternatives that are part of the selected simulation as described in the following sections.
