MIKE SHE 2026

MIKE SHE 2026 will be release in November 2025. In this page you can check the progress of the different development activities.

New features

Last update: 30/06/2025

Module Project Status
Particle Tracking Reduce calculation times Completed
Saturated Zone Warning if saturated zone top layer gets dry Completed
Water Balance Warning if the storage time steps are not consistent with the simulation length, leading to water balance calculation issues Completed
SVAT Implement a user interface for the Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) model. While the Kristensen and Jensen model requires the user to provide the reference ET, it is calculated by SVAT using the Shuttleworth-Wallace method. When selecting SVAT, the user is required to run a sub-daily time steps and cannot use the irrigation module. Testing
Water Quality Implement dynamic coupling of WM and WQ (inc. MIKE ECO Lab) Testing
New license system Implement MIKE BY DHI new license system Testing
Python Improve the GitHub reposity (new example, more documentation...) In development
Python Improve Python plugin user experience and integrate with GitHub In development
Particle Tracking LIght integration of Support RW3D (Random-Walk in 3 Dimensions) with MIKE SHE. In development
Auto-calibration Document on to use mikecalsetup with MIKE SHE Ongoing
New online documentation Migrate the documentation from FrameMaker to MkDocs and publish new online help. Fix all documentation problems reported over the years. Context sentive help (i.e. F1) will not be ready for MIKE SHE 2026 release. Ongoing
Workflow Improvement to result viewing,  debugging, log investigation Scoping
Workflow Distributed parameter and EO data Backlog
Workflow MIKE+ coupling workflow improvements Backlog

User Interface improvement

Toolbox Probability curves(*.dfs0), no any response when the setup go to the Status page and click ‘Execute’ button. Testing
GUI In any grid pressing Ctrl+z deletes makes all table rows invisible Testing
WBL WBL Map output overview does not show the result Testing

Bug fixes

Module Description Status
Unsaturated Zone Error in root zone calculations that occurs when individually defined vegetation parameters are used and the unsaturated zone profile is deep. Hotfix
(MIKE SHE 2025 hotfix 05-02-2025)
Particle Tracking PT text output file does not include simulation start. Hotfix
(MIKE Zero 2025 hotfix 14-05-2025)
Water Quality When flooding is included in WM you cannot run an SZ-only WQ Hotfix
(MIKE SHE 2025 hotfix 05-12-2024)
Rivers MIKE SHE - MIKE1D cannot run with setups that include Muskingum-Cunge routing reaches, when any of these branches falls dry AND a MIKE SHE detailed time series is set up there. Hotfix
(MIKE Zero 2025 hotfix 16-05-2025)
Overland Inaccuracy in time step calculation leads to wrong storing time in detailed time series output letting the model stop with an error message Fixed
Rivers Improve error message when coupling a river with one single link fails Fixed
Water Balance WBL cannot be cancelled when run as a postprocessing tool to WM Fixed
Collection system Sewers coupling crashes when coupling to SZ but no soakaways are present Fixed
Collection system Static coupling not possible Fixed
Water Movement Crash when switching to DST Fixed
