Add boundary conditions to the boundaries

When adding boundary conditions to the model you must first declare the type of the boundary you want to add. This is done as follows for a waterlevel timeseries:

Creare timeseries boundaries

flowLeftBoundaryCondition = AddFlowBoundaryCondition(fmModel, leftBoundary.Name, FlowBoundaryQuantityType.WaterLevel, BoundaryConditionDataType.TimeSeries)
flowTopBoundaryCondition = AddFlowBoundaryCondition(fmModel, topBoundary.Name, FlowBoundaryQuantityType.WaterLevel, BoundaryConditionDataType.TimeSeries)
flowBottomBoundaryCondition = AddFlowBoundaryCondition(fmModel, bottomBoundary.Name, FlowBoundaryQuantityType.WaterLevel, BoundaryConditionDataType.TimeSeries)
flowRightBoundaryCondition = AddFlowBoundaryCondition(fmModel, rightBoundary.Name, FlowBoundaryQuantityType.WaterLevel, BoundaryConditionDataType.TimeSeries)

This can be seen on the map on the boundary :

Now we declare a timeseries as a list of [datetime, value]. To do this we need to import the datetime and time classes from the python datetime library.

Create timeseries

startTime = datetime(2014,1,1, 12,0,0)
endTime = datetime(2014,1,12, 12,0,0)

boundaryConditionSets = [[leftBoundary,flowLeftBoundaryCondition],
                        [topBoundary,flowTopBoundaryCondition],
                        [bottomBoundary, flowBottomBoundaryCondition],
                        [rightBoundary, flowRightBoundaryCondition]]

Add WPS boundary conditions

for boundaryConditionSet in boundaryConditionSets:
    # get timeseries for each support point using wps service
    timeSeries = wps.GetTidalPredictForLineString(boundaryConditionSet[0].Geometry, EPSGCode, startTime, endTime, wps.Frequency.Hourly)

    # add resultTimeSeries to support points
    for supportPointIndex in range(len(timeSeries)):
        resultTimeSeries = timeSeries[supportPointIndex]
        AddTimeSeriesToSupportPoint(fmModel, boundaryConditionSet[1], supportPointIndex, resultTimeSeries)

The result can be viewed double clicking the boundary on the map and looking at the boundary conditions editor :

Here you can see that for the left boundary there is a waterlevel timeseries declared on the nodes 0 (LeftBoundary_0001), 2 (LeftBoundary_0003) and 5 (LeftBoundary_0006)
