We start by reading the waterlevels at the cell centers from a CSV (Comma separated values) file into the initialWaterLevels list.
Set intial confitions
# add initial conditions
import csv
initialWaterLevels = []
with open("D:\\Workshop\\initial.csv") as csvfile:
lines = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',')
for line in lines:
initialWaterLevels.append(float(line[0]))
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()))
