imod.flow - Create iMODFLOW model

Create iMODFLOW model.

With this module full iMODFLOW models can be written to disk. In imod.wq this is done with classes that understand more about the model and can therefore offer more help. Here a more rudimentary approach is used where you can pass a dictionary with all data. This works, but you need to be extra careful about writing a full and correct model definition, since no extra checks are done by this module.

imod.flow.write(path, model, name=None, runfile_parameters=None, output_packages=['shd'])[source]

Writes an iMODFLOW model, including runfile, as specified by model into directory path.

Directory path is created if it does not already exist.

When runfile_parameters is specified, its values are used to fill in the runfile instead of those generated automatically from the data in model. This is necessary when the default runfile parameters do not suffice, but you do not want to change the runfile after it is written.

Note: every xarray.DataArray in model must have layer coordinates specified; use da.assign_coords(layer=...).

Parameters

  • path (str) – The directory to write the model to.

  • model (collections.OrderedDict) – Dictionary containing the package data as xarray.DataArray or pandas.DataFrame.

  • name (str) – Name given to the runfile. Defaults to “runfile”.

  • runfile_parameters (dict) – Dictionary containing the runfile parameters. Defaults to None, in which case runfile_parameters is generated from data in model.

  • output_packages (list) – List of package names for which to write output, following the iMODFLOW conventions. For example, providing output_packages=[“shd”, “bnd”] writes heads, bdgfff, bdgflf, and bdgfrf.

Returns

Return type

None

Examples

Write the model data in dictionary a as iMODFLOW model files, to directory “example_dir”:

>>> imod.flow.write(path="example_dir", model=a)

Generate runfile parameters for data in dictionary a using imod.run.get_runfile(), change the value for hclose, and write:

>>> runfile_parameters = imod.run.get_runfile(model=a)
>>> runfile_parameters["hclose"] = 0.00001
>>> imod.flow.write(path="example_dir", model=a, runfile_parameters=runfile_parameters)
