Run the model

Before we start running the model we need to configure the model times. This can by done by adding the following line :

SetModelTimes(fmModel, datetime(2014,1,1, 12,0,0), datetime(2014,1,8, 12,0,0), time(12,0,0,))

This sets the model start time, end time and timestep to the times used in our timeseries.

Now we can run the model by adding the runmodel statement :

RunModel(fmModel, showDialog = True)

This will run the whole model from start to end time time, so this may take some time.

There is also an alternative way to run a your model, like this :

numberOfTimeSteps = int((fmModel.StopTime - fmModel.StartTime).TotalSeconds  / fmModel.TimeStep.TotalSeconds)

fmModel.Initialize()

for i in range(numberOfTimeSteps):
    fmModel.Execute()

fmModel.Finish()
fmModel.Cleanup()

Here you can control the run by calling the model run functions yourself , and maybe add your own logic for every timestep.
