HEC-HMS: large .DSS file
HEC-HMS: large .DSS file
(OP)
HEC-HMS (using ver. 3.2) creates a .dss file that is usually quite large (77 MB). If you try to send a HEC-HMS model to somebody electronically, it seems that you have to send this large dss file also, as it contains important data.
Does anybody know a way to reduce the size of this .dss file?
Or a better question may be, am I even on the right track here?
Any help would be appreciated.

The size of the DSS file can be controlled using HEC-DSSVue. Open the DSS file with HEC-DSSVue and delete all the outdated records. Then "squeeze" the file to permanently remove the deleted data to decrease the file size. Just be careful not to delete the paired data, or input time series data used to execute the model.
The initial size of the DSS, without any results, is really independent of the number of basins. No basin data is stored in the DSS file. Only time series and paired data are stored in the DSS.
