Once you have created a WISE file, you usually want to open that file in RiverWISE and verify that it supports model exploration as you intend. This might lead you to change to the model, policy, or inputs, in which case you would need to re-execute before generating a new WISE file, or you might just need to adjust the export configuration before doing another export. For example, within RiverWISE you might realize that there are too many result slots for a stakeholder to easily evaluate, so choose to limit exported results. Conversely, you might decide that it would be useful for them to view additional series slots.

Once you are satisfied with the WISE file, you can send it to stakeholders with instructions on how to use it. To use RiverWISE, a stakeholder must perform the following steps.

Once these steps have been accomplished, the stakeholder should be able to run RiverWISE, open the WISE file, then conduct their scenario exploration, including: view baseline run results, change input slot values and rerun the simulation, compare scenario results with the baseline run, export results, and save scenarios. The stakeholder could then provide you with feedback on the baseline model in the form of a new WISE file that includes additional scenarios they have created. You can then use RiverWISE to reproduce and view their scenario results.
