Option A: Import an existing SOBEK 2.1x flow model

The fist thing we have to do is to declare where the model is located :

rootPath = r"D:\Workshop\data"
model213Path = rootPath + r"\SW_max.lit\2"

Next, we want to import the model using the Delta Shell SOBEK 2 importer. This method can be found in a library called Sobek2Functions in the Libraries folder of the toolbox. You can gain access to all the methods included in that library by adding (and then running) the following code.

from Libraries.Sobek2Functions import *

 The mask * written above will make all the functions contained in the Sobek2Functions library available for use. All of them will now also appear in the code completion dialog (when you hit CTRL + SPACE).

The function called "ImportSobek2Model" which we will use to import the existing model.

hydroModel = ImportSobek2Model(model213Path + r"\NETWORK.TP",useRR=False, useFLOW=True, useRTC=False, useWAQ=False)

After running this line the model is imported and added to the variable "hydroModel", but we can not see the model yet.

For this we need to import another library called "StandardFunctions" because this library has a function for adding an item to the project.

from Libraries.StandardFunctions import *
AddToProject(hydroModel)

Now we should have the imported model in our project (see the project toolwindow):

The last thing we need to do is to rename a gridpoint location called "3" to "Gauging Station". This is because we use this later on in the tutorial (we will have measurements for this point)

dataPoint = GetComputationGridLocationByName(flowModel, "3")
dataPoint.Name = "Gauging Station"
