The file format has been developed with the following in mind:
• To minimise coding and maximise the sharing of code between the adapter and FloodWorks, the parameters are the same as those in the equivalent FloodWorks parameter file.
• The element list is generic, and should allow adapters to be developed in future for other FloodWorks algorithms such as PDM and KW with a minimum of effort. Other adapters would use the same code to read the INI file. This has resulted in a relatively verbose file. Most of the elements in the file are actually size specifications, indicating the sizes of arrays of parameters.
• The generic approach means there are several elements that will always take the same value in the ISIS adapter but which would have different values in, say, a PDM adapter.
1 Sections
The INI file is in 14 sections as follows:
1. General
2. InputDimensions
3. Inputs
4. ControlDimensions
5. Controls
6. OutputDimensions
7. Outputs
8. StatesDimensions
9. RealParameterDimensions
10. RealParameters
11. IntegerParameterDimensions
12. IntegerParameters
13. CharacterParameterDimensions
14. CharacterParameters
The sections can be in any order.
2 Parameters
The full parameter list is below, followed by endnotes explaining some of the particular ISIS values. The following definitions will be useful:
• Flow input series: QTBDY marked as being used as an input to the operational model
• Stage input series: HTBDY marked as being used as an input to the operational model
• Wind input series: component of a WIND unit marked as being used as an input to the operational model
• Simple control: GAUGE, VERTICAL SLUICE, RADIAL SLUICE, ABSTRACTION, GATED WEIR, PUMP, or BLOCKAGE marked as being used as an input to the operational model
• Flow output series: node marked as providing flow output to the operational model
• Stage output series: node marked as providing stage output to the operational model
