This tutorial assumes that you have a SOBEK 3 model at your disposal. If you have not, follow this tutorial first to build one.

Running a single model using only the command line in three easy steps

  1. Navigate to the directory in which you model (*.dsproj) is located. If you have no model, follow this tutorial first to build one.
  2. Create a new .bat file in the same directory with your favorite text editor. In the bat file, enter 1 line using the following syntax: Path_To_DSConsole -p path_to_dsproj -f path_toscript. For example:

    Code Block
    languagepowershell
    titleRunModel.bat
    firstline1
    linenumberstrue
    "d:\software\SOBEK (3.4.0.32140)\bin\DeltaShell.Console.exe" -s -p SingleChannel.dsproj -r "water flow 1d" >> output.txt

    This script consists of the following items:

    • '(....)\bin\DeltaShell.Console.exe' is the path to DeltaShell's console interface. For more information on this interface, please check the 'Command Line and Scripting' chapter of the DeltaShell User Manual.

    • "-s" This tells DeltaShell to not lead standard Python libraries (we don't need them, so this reduces the start-up time)
    • '-p *.dsproj' This tells DeltaShell to load a project

    • '-r water flow 1d'  This tells DeltaShell to execute a model within the loaded project

    • >> output.txt The output of the bat script will be written to file, instead echoed to the command prompt

  3. Save the .bat script and run it by double clicking on the file. Your model should now run! The command prompt will automatically close after the model run has finished. Check 'output.txt' if the model run was succesful. If it was, it should say 'normal end of sobeksim'.
