This has resulted in the following setup of available 'Generic data tabs' and 'CoDeS tools' (icons link to the online CoDeS User Manual):
Considerable effort has been put in making the upgraded framework more robust (by including a shared data model and unit tests) and improving the look & feel of the framework in terms of uniformity and accessibility for non-trained users. This has increased the use of the developed tools within the partners' organizations considerably compared to the products from the JIP CoDeS Pilot and JIP CoDeS 1.0. Moreover, the CoDeS community has become more mature in the sense that also internal and external contributions to the tools have been made outside the JIP project itself (objective 2 and 3). In order to demonstrate the use of the framework to a wider audience a showcase has been developed for the Scheveningen case. This indicative case study, illustrating the use of the tools in a real-life project, has been compiled in a conference paper which was presented at the PIANC Copdec 2016 conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The conference paper can be downloaded here. Furthermore, the CoDeS tools will be were presented for an international audience at the International Conference on Coastal Engineering '18 (ICCE '18), the slides will can be made available here after the conference found here (objective 4).
How do I get access to the product?
The development of embargo on CoDeS 2.0 is still in progress, (intermediate) versions of CoDeS are available to JIP CoDeS partners. The embargo for the general public will be lifted one year after completion of the JIP CoDeS 2.0 projectwas lifted in January 2020.
In order to install CoDeS 2.0, you need to acquire two components:
- The CoDeS 2.0 Python code
- A specific CoDeS 2.0 version of the Delta Shell interface
The python code for CoDeS 2.0 can be freely downloaded form the OpenEarth repository, for which a free account can be created here.
The specific CoDeS 2.0 version of Delta Shell can be freely applied for here.
To properly link the tools with the Delta Shell GUI, a step-by-step read-me document is available.
Process
Working together in sprints using a SCRUM alike methodology was found to provide a very productive, constructive and pleasant working experience during both the CoDeS pilot and CoDeS 1.0 projects. Furthermore, the threshold for new developers to start-up and join the team is found to be fairly low (~couple of days). In order to streamline CoDeS software development in a professional manner, the software development tool JIRA was introduced since CoDeS 1.0 in order to manage and structure the development process. The online technical documentation, setup as part of CoDeS 2.0, can be found here.
