Release Notes - MIKE OPERATIONS 2024.1

Release date

March 12, 2024

Welcome

Welcome to MIKE OPERATIONS 2024

In this Release Note, you will find information about new features of MIKE OPERATIONS and what you need to know to install and get started with Release 2024.1.

MIKE OPERATIONS is a software product designed for data management and model-based forecast services and for online operational control of river systems, water collection systems and water distribution systems. MIKE OPERATIONS empowers you to build real-time systems by offering flexible tools that help you deal with complexities such as acquiring and combining online data sources in preparation for real-time modelling.

MIKE OPERATIONS is a product consolidation of software tools developed and applied in projects over the past 14-15 years. Hence, although MIKE OPERATIONS is a relatively new member of the MIKE product family it builds on proven software products that already serve many customers worldwide.

Note

Note that model adapters of MIKE OPERATIONS support the official MIKE 2024 release only. This means that pre-releases of MIKE engines as well as the intermediate releases of MIKE+ 2023 Update 1, MIKE 2024 pre-releases and future update releases of MIKE 2024, are NOT supported.
