Set spatially varying initial conditions and model parameters

We start by creating a list of coordinates using the cell centers (the initial waterlevel values are defined per cell).

Set intial confitions

coordinates = [cell.Center.X, cell.Center.Y] for cell in fmModel.Grid.Cells

Then we get the waterlevel for these coordinates at the start time and set them as the initial waterlevel of our model.

Set intial confitions

initialWaterLevels = wps.GetTidalPredictForTime(startTime, lineGeometry, EPSGCode)

fmModel.InitialWaterLevels.SetValues(initialWaterLevels)

To limit the calculation time we change the maximum and initial delta t (time) to 1 hour using the SetModelProperty" function.

Set dtMax and dtInitial

# set model max and initial timestep size
timeStep = timedelta(hours=1)

SetModelProperty(fmModel, KnownProperties.DtMax, str(timeStep.total_seconds()))
SetModelProperty(fmModel, KnownProperties.DtInit, str(timeStep.total_seconds()))

We also need to set the general model times with the start time, end time and time step.

Set model times

SetModelTimes(fmModel, startTime, endTime, time(6,0,0))
