The SOBEK 3 flow model is now ready to be run. We can do this by simply adding the RunModel statement :
Run the model
RunModel(flowModel, showDialog = True)
This command will run the whole model from start to end time time.
If you want to have more control on how your model is run, you can use this alternative way.
Run model with your own control flow
numberOfTimeSteps = int((flowModel.StopTime - flowModel.StartTime).TotalSeconds / flowModel.TimeStep.TotalSeconds)
flowModel.Initialize()
for i in range(numberOfTimeSteps):
flowModel.Execute()
flowModel.Finish()
flowModel.Cleanup()
With this last method, you can fully control the run by calling yourself separately the different sub-functions which compose a model run. This gives you the freedom to insert any additional logic you wish after running each time step.
