object
The main class for managing HydPy projects.
In typical HydPy projects, one prepares a single instance of class
HydPy
. This instance, which we name “hp” throughout this documentation instead of “hydpy” to avoid a naming collision with the hydpy site-package, provides many convenience methods to perform task like reading time-series data or starting simulation runs. Additionally, it serves as a root to access most of the details of a HydPy project, allowing for more granular control over the framework features.We elaborate these short explanations by using the LahnH example project. Calling function
prepare_full_example_1()
copies the complete example project LahnH into the iotesting directory of the HydPy site-package (alternatively, you can copy the LahnH example project, which can be found in subpackage data, into a working directory of your choice):>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1()
At first, the
HydPy
instance needs to know the name of the relevant project, which is identical with the name of the project’s root directory. Pass LahnH to the constructor of classHydPy
:>>> from hydpy import HydPy >>> hp = HydPy("LahnH")
So far, our
HydPy
instance does not know any project configurations except its name. Most of this information would be available via propertiesnodes
andelements
, but if we try to access them, we get the following error responses:>>> hp.nodes Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: The actual HydPy instance does not handle any nodes at the moment.
>>> hp.elements Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: The actual HydPy instance does not handle any elements at the moment.
One now could continue rather quickly by calling method
prepare_everything()
, which would make ourHydPy
instance ready for its first simulation run in one go. However, we prefer to continue step by step by calling the more specific preparation methods, which offers more flexibility.First, the
HydPy
instance needs to know the relevantNode
andElement
objects. Methodprepare_network()
reads this information from so-called “network files”. TheNode
andElement
objects connect automatically and thereby define the topology or the network structure of the project (see the documentation on classNetworkManager
and moduledevicetools
for more detailed explanations):>>> from hydpy import TestIO >>> with TestIO(): ... hp.prepare_network()
(Using the “with” statement in combination with class
TestIO
makes sure we are reading the network files from a subdirectory of the iotesting directory. Here and in the following, you must omit such “with blocks” in case you copied the LahnH example project into your current working directory.)Now, our
HydPy
instance offers access to allNode
objects defined within the LahnH example project, which are grouped by aNodes
object:>>> hp.nodes Nodes("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_2", "lahn_3")
Taking the node dill as an example, we can dive into the details and, for example, search for those elements which node dill is connected to (it receives water from element land_dill and passes it to element stream_dill_lahn_2), or inspect its simulated discharge value handled by a
Sim
sequence object (so far, zero):>>> hp.nodes.dill.entries Elements("land_dill")
>>> hp.nodes.dill.exits Elements("stream_dill_lahn_2")
>>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim sim(0.0)
All
Node
objects are ready to be used. The same is only partly true for theElement
objects, which are also accessible (via aElements
instance) and properly connected to theNode
objects but do not handle workableModel
objects, which is required to perform any simulation run:>>> hp.elements Elements("land_dill", "land_lahn_1", "land_lahn_2", "land_lahn_3", "stream_dill_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3")
>>> hp.elements.stream_dill_lahn_2 Element("stream_dill_lahn_2", inlets="dill", outlets="lahn_2", keywords="river")
>>> hp.elements.land_dill.model Traceback (most recent call last): ... hydpy.core.exceptiontools.AttributeNotReady: The model object of element `land_dill` has been requested but not been prepared so far.
Hence, we need to call method
prepare_models()
, which instructs allElement
objects to read the relevant parameter control files and prepare theirModel
objects. Note that the individualElement
object does not know the relevant model type beforehand; both the information on the model type and the parameter settings is encoded in individual control files, making it easy to exchange individual models later (the documentation on methodprepare_models()
of classElements
is a good starting point for a deeper understanding on configuring HydPy projects via control files):>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.prepare_models() Traceback (most recent call last): ... hydpy.core.exceptiontools.AttributeNotReady: While trying to initialise the model object of element `land_dill`, the following error occurred: The initialisation period has not been defined via attribute `timegrids` of module `pub` yet but might be required to prepare the model properly.
Oops, something went wrong. We forgot to define the simulation period, which might be relevant for some time-dependent configurations. We discuss some examples of such configurations below but now use this little accident to discuss the typical pattern of HydPy error messages. First, we usually try to add some additional “spatial” information (in this case: the name of the related
Element
object). Second, we try to explain in which program context an error occurs. This context is already available in much more detail in the so-called “stack trace” (the middle part of the printed error response we do not show). Stack trace descriptions are great for programmers but hard to read for others, which is why we often add “While trying to…” explanations to our error messages. In our example, one can see that the error occurred while trying to initialise theModel
object of element land_dill, which is quite evident in our example but could be less evident in more complex HydPy applications.The last sentence of the error message tells us that we need to define the attribute timegrids of module pub. pub stands for “public”, meaning module pub handles all (or at least most of) the globally available configuration data. One example is that module pub handles a
Timegrids
instance defining both the initialisation and the simulation period, which can be done by the following assignment (see the documentation on classTimegrid
and on classTimegrids
for further information):>>> from hydpy import pub >>> pub.timegrids = "1996-01-01", "1996-01-05", "1d"
Now method
prepare_models()
does not complain anymore and adds an instance of thehland_v1
application model to element land_dill, to which we set an additional reference to shorten the following examples:>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.prepare_models()
>>> model = hp.elements.land_dill.model >>> model.name 'hland_v1'
All control parameter values, defined in the corresponding control file, are correctly set. As an example, we show the values of control parameter
IcMax
, which in this case defines different values for hydrological response units of typeFIELD
(1.0 mm) and of typeFOREST
(1.5 mm):>>> model.parameters.control.icmax icmax(field=1.0, forest=1.5)
The appearance (or “string representation”) of all parameters that have a unit with a time reference (we call these parameters “time-dependent”) like
PercMax
depends on the current setting of optionparameterstep
, which is one day by default (see the documentation on classParameter
for more information on dealing with time-dependent parameters subclasses):>>> model.parameters.control.percmax percmax(1.39636) >>> pub.options.parameterstep("1h") Period("1d")
The values of the derived parameters, which need to be calculated before starting a simulation run based on the control parameters and eventually based on some other settings (e.g. the initialisation period) are also ready. Here we show the value of the derived parameter
RelLandArea
, representing the relative area of “land” units (1.0 means there is no “water” unit at all):>>> model.parameters.derived.rellandarea rellandarea(1.0)
Note that we define all class names in “CamelCase” letters (which is a Python convention) and, whenever useful, name the related objects identically but in lower case letters. We hope that eases finding the relevant parts of the online documentation when in trouble with a particular object. Three examples we already encountered are the
Timegrids
instance timegrids of module pub, theNodes
instance nodes of class HydPy, and theRelLandArea
instance rellandarea of application modelhland_v1
:>>> from hydpy import classname >>> classname(pub.timegrids) 'Timegrids'
>>> classname(hp.nodes) 'Nodes'
>>> classname(model.parameters.derived.rellandarea) 'RelLandArea'
As shown above, all
Parameter
objects of the model of element land_dill are ready to be used. However, all sequences (which handle the time variable properties) containnumpy
nan
values, which we use to indicate missing data. We show this for the 0-dimensional input temperature sequenceT
, for the 1-dimensional soil moisture state sequenceSM
, and for the 0-dimensional discharge flux sequenceQT
:>>> model.sequences.inputs.t t(nan)
>>> model.sequences.states.sm sm(nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan)
>>> model.sequences.fluxes.qt qt(nan)
There are some other sequence types (see the documentation on module
sequencetools
for more details) butInputSequence
,FluxSequence
, andStateSequence
are the most common ones (besides theNodeSequence
subtypesObs
and especiallySim
).StateSequence
objects describe many aspects of the current state of a model (or, e.g., of a catchment). Each simulation run requires proper initial states, which we call initial conditions in the following (also covering memory aspects represented byLogSequence
objects). We load all necessary initial conditions by calling the methodload_conditions()
(see the documentation on methodload_conditions()
for further details):>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.load_conditions()
Now, the states of our model are also ready to be used. However, one should note that state sequence
SM
knows only the current soil moisture states for the twelve hydrological response units of element land_dill (more specifically, we loaded the soil moisture values related to the start date of the initialisation period, which is the first of January at zero o’clock). By default and for reasons of memory storage efficiency, sequences generally handle the currently relevant values only instead of complete time-series:>>> model.sequences.inputs.t t(nan)
>>> model.sequences.states.sm sm(185.13164, 181.18755, 199.80432, 196.55888, 212.04018, 209.48859, 222.12115, 220.12671, 230.30756, 228.70779, 236.91943, 235.64427)
>>> model.sequences.fluxes.qt qt(nan)
For states like
SM
, we need to know the values at the beginning of the simulation period only. All following values are calculated subsequentially during the simulation run. However, this is different for input sequences likeT
. Time variable properties like the air temperature are external forcings. Hence they must be available over the whole simulation period apriori. Such complete time-series can be made available via propertyseries
of classIOSequence
, which has not happened for any sequence so far:>>> model.sequences.inputs.t.series Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: Sequence `t` of element `land_dill` is not requested to make any internal data available.
Before loading time-series data, we need to reserve the required memory storage. We do this for all sequences at ones (not only the
ModelSequence
objects but also theNodeSequence
objects as theSim
instance handled by node dill) through calling methodprepare_allseries()
:>>> hp.prepare_allseries()
Now property
series
returns anInfoArray
object, which is a slight modification of the widely appliednumpy
ndarray
. The first axis (or the only axis) corresponds to the number of days of the initialisation period (a HydPy convention). For the 1-dimensional soil moisture state sequenceSM
, the second axis corresponds to the number of hydrological response units (ahland
convention):>>> model.sequences.inputs.t.series InfoArray([ nan, nan, nan, nan])
>>> model.sequences.states.sm.series InfoArray([[ nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan], [ nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan], [ nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan], [ nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan]])
>>> model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series InfoArray([ nan, nan, nan, nan])
>>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series InfoArray([ nan, nan, nan, nan])
So far, each time-series array is empty. The LahnH example project provides time-series files for the input sequences only, which is the minimum requirement for starting a simulation run. We use method
load_inputseries()
to load this data:>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.load_inputseries()
>>> from hydpy import round_ >>> round_(model.sequences.inputs.t.series) -0.298846, -0.811539, -2.493848, -5.968849
Finally, we can perform the simulation run by calling the method
simulate()
:>>> hp.simulate()
The time-series arrays of all sequences now contain calculated values — except those of input sequence
T
, of course (for state sequenceSM
, we show the time-series of the first hydrological response unit only):>>> round_(model.sequences.inputs.t.series) -0.298846, -0.811539, -2.493848, -5.968849
>>> round_(model.sequences.states.sm.series[:, 0]) 184.926173, 184.603966, 184.386666, 184.098541
>>> round_(model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
>>> round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
By comparison, you see that the lastly calculated (or read) time series value is the actual one for each
Sequence_
object. This mechanism allows, for example, to write the final states of soil moisture sequenceSM
and use them as initial conditions later, even if its complete time-series were not available:>>> model.sequences.inputs.t t(-5.968849)
>>> model.sequences.states.sm sm(184.098541, 180.176461, 198.689343, 195.462014, 210.856923, 208.319571, 220.881637, 218.898327, 229.022364, 227.431521, 235.597338, 234.329294)
>>> model.sequences.fluxes.qt qt(6.017787)
>>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim sim(6.017787)
In many applications, the simulated time-series is the result we are interested in. Hence we close our explanations with some detailed examples on this topic that also cover the potential problem of limited rapid access storage availability.
By default, the HydPy framework does not overwrite already existing time-series files. You can change such settings via the
SequenceManager
object available in modulepub
(modulepub
also handlesControlManager
andConditionManager
objects for settings related to reading and writing control files and condition files). We change the default behaviour by setting the generaloverwrite attribute toTrue
and write all the time series (not only those of the flux and states sequences but also those of the input sequences) by calling methodsave_allseries()
:>>> pub.sequencemanager.generaloverwrite = True >>> with TestIO(): ... hp.save_allseries()
Next, we show how the reading of time-series works. We first set the time-series values of all considered sequences to zero for this purpose:
>>> model.sequences.inputs.t.series = 0.0 >>> model.sequences.states.sm.series = 0.0 >>> model.sequences.inputs.t.series = 0.0 >>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series = 0.
Now we can reload the time-series of all relevant sequences. However, doing so would result in a warning due to incomplete data (for example, of the observation data handled by the
Obs
sequence objects, which is not available in the LahnH example project). To circumvent this problem, we disable thecheckseries
option, which is one of the public options handled by the instance of classOptions
available as another attribute of modulepub
. We again use a “with block”, making sure the option is changed only temporarily while loading the time-series (this time not by executing methodload_allseries()
but by the more specific methodsload_inputseries()
,load_fluxseries()
,load_stateseries()
, andload_simseries()
):>>> with TestIO(), pub.options.checkseries(False): ... hp.load_inputseries() ... hp.load_fluxseries() ... hp.load_stateseries() ... hp.load_simseries()
The read time-series data equals the previously written one:
>>> round_(model.sequences.inputs.t.series) -0.298846, -0.811539, -2.493848, -5.968849
>>> round_(model.sequences.states.sm.series[:, 0]) 184.926173, 184.603966, 184.386666, 184.098541
>>> round_(model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
>>> round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
We mentioned the possibility for more granular control of HydPy by using the different objects handled by the
HydPy
object instead of using its convenience methods. Here is an elaborate example showing how to (re)load the states of an arbitrary simulation time step, which might be relevant for more complex workflows implementing data assimilation techniques:>>> model.sequences.states.load_data(1) >>> model.sequences.states.sm sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621)
Using the node sequence
Sim
as an example, we also show the inverse functionality of changing time-series values:>>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim = 0.0 >>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.save_data(2) >>> round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 0.0, 6.017787
>>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.load_data(1) >>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim sim(8.901179)
In the examples above, we keep all data in rapid access memory, which can be problematic when handling long time-series in huge HydPy projects. When in trouble, first try to prepare only those time-series which are strictly required (very often, it is sufficient to call
prepare_inputseries()
,load_inputseries()
, andprepare_simseries()
only). If this does not work in your project, you can choose to handle some time-series on disk instead, which unavoidably increases computation times immensely. To prepare the necessary space on disk, assignFalse
to the ramflag argument of methodprepare_allseries()
or its more specific counterparts:>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.prepare_inputseries(ramflag=False) ... hp.prepare_stateseries(ramflag=False) ... hp.prepare_fluxseries(ramflag=False) ... hp.prepare_simseries(ramflag=False) ... hp.prepare_obsseries(ramflag=False)
By doing so, you lose the previously available time-series information:
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.inputs.t.series) nan, nan, nan, nan
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.states.sm.series[:, 0]) nan, nan, nan, nan
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series) nan, nan, nan, nan
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) nan, nan, nan, nan
(Re)Loading the initial conditions and the input time-series and (re)performing the simulation run results, as to be expected, in the same simulation results:
>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.load_conditions() ... hp.load_inputseries() ... hp.simulate()
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.inputs.t.series) -0.298846, -0.811539, -2.493848, -5.968849
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.states.sm.series[:, 0]) 184.926173, 184.603966, 184.386666, 184.098541
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
Writing and reading from external time-series files also works in combination with handling internal time-series data on disk:
>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.save_inputseries() ... hp.save_stateseries() ... hp.save_fluxseries() ... hp.save_simseries() ... hp.save_obsseries()
>>> with TestIO(): ... model.sequences.inputs.t.series = 0.0 ... model.sequences.states.sm.series = 0.0 ... model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series = 0.0 ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series = 0.0
>>> with TestIO(): ... with pub.options.checkseries(False): ... hp.load_allseries()
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.inputs.t.series) -0.298846, -0.811539, -2.493848, -5.968849
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.states.sm.series[:, 0]) 184.926173, 184.603966, 184.386666, 184.098541
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
>>> with TestIO(): ... round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
Besides computation times, it usually makes no difference whether one handles internal time-series data in RAM or on disk. However, there are some subtle differences when one dives into the details. Above, we have shown the possibility to (re)load the states of arbitrary simulation time steps when working in RAM. The same is possible when working on the hard disk, but one has to call
open_files()
first to prepare the necessary file object and pass the relevant time step index to this method instead to methodload_data()
:>>> with TestIO(): ... model.sequences.states.open_files(1) ... model.sequences.states.load_data(-999) ... model.sequences.states.close_files() >>> model.sequences.states.sm sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621)
For the sake of completeness, we also repeat the
Sim
based example:>>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim = 0.0 >>> with TestIO(): ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.open_files(2) ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.save_data(-999) ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.close_files() ... round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 0.0, 6.017787
>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.open_files(1) ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.load_data(-999) ... hp.nodes.dill.sequences.close_files() >>> hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim sim(8.901179)

¶ The currently handled
Node
objects.You are allowed to get, set and delete the currently handled nodes:
>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2() >>> hp.nodes Nodes("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_2", "lahn_3")
>>> del hp.nodes >>> hp.nodes Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: The actual HydPy instance does not handle any nodes at the moment.
>>> hp.nodes = "dill", "lahn_1" >>> hp.nodes Nodes("dill", "lahn_1")
However, note that doing so might result in erroneous networks and that you, even in case of correctness, must most likely call method
update_devices()
before performing the next simulation run.

Element
objects.You are allowed to get, set and delete the currently handled elements:

>>> del hp.elements >>> hp.elements Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: The actual HydPy instance does not handle any elements at the moment.

before performing the next simulation run.

prepare_everything
() → None[source]¶ Convenience method to make the actual
HydPy
instance runnable.Method
prepare_everything()
is the fastest approach to get a runnableHydPy
object. You only need to import classHydPy
, initialise it with the project name, define the simulation period via theTimegrids
object of modulepub
, and call methodprepare_everything()
(in this documentation, we first need to prepare the example project via functionprepare_full_example_1()
and change the current working directory via classTestIO
):>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1() >>> from hydpy import HydPy, pub, round_, TestIO >>> with TestIO(): ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... pub.timegrids = "1996-01-01", "1996-01-05", "1d" ... hp.prepare_everything()
Now you can start a simulation run and inspect the calculated time-series of all relevant sequences. We take the discharge values of the flux sequence
QT
ofElement
object land_dill and of the node sequenceSim
ofNode
object dill as examples, which provide the same information:>>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.elements.land_dill.model.sequences.fluxes.qt.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787 >>> round_(hp.nodes.dill.sequences.sim.series) 11.78038, 8.901179, 7.131072, 6.017787
-
prepare_network
() → None[source]¶ Load all network files as
Selections
(stored in modulepub
) and assign the “complete” selection to theHydPy
object.First, we call function
prepare_full_example_1()
to prepare the LahnH example project, including its network files headwaters.py, nonheadwaters.py, and streams.py:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1()
Directly after initialising class
HydPy
, neither the resulting object nor modulepub
contain any information stemming from the network files:>>> from hydpy import HydPy, pub, TestIO >>> hp = HydPy("LahnH") >>> pub.selections Traceback (most recent call last): ... hydpy.core.exceptiontools.AttributeNotReady: Attribute selections of module `pub` is not defined at the moment.
By calling the method
prepare_network()
, one loads all three network files into separateSelection
objects, all handled by theSelections
object of modulepub
. Additionally, there is aSelection
object named complete, covering allNode
andElement
objects of the otherSelection
objects:>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.prepare_network() >>> pub.selections Selections("complete", "headwaters", "nonheadwaters", "streams")
>>> pub.selections.headwaters <= pub.selections.complete True >>> pub.selections.nonheadwaters <= pub.selections.complete True >>> pub.selections.streams <= pub.selections.complete True
Initially, the
HydPy
object is aware of the complete set ofNode
andElement
objects:>>> hp.nodes == pub.selections.complete.nodes True >>> hp.elements == pub.selections.complete.elements True
See the documentation on method
update_devices()
on how to “activate| another selection in the safest manner.

() → None[source]¶ Read all control files related to the current
Element
objects, initialise the defined models, and prepare their parameter values.First, we call function
prepare_full_example_1()
to prepare the LahnH example project:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1()
Now we can initialise a
HydPy
instance accordingly and call its methodsprepare_network()
andprepare_models()
:>>> from hydpy import HydPy, pub, round_, TestIO >>> with TestIO(): ... pub.timegrids = "1996-01-01", "1996-01-05", "1d" ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... hp.prepare_network() ... hp.prepare_models()
As a result, each
Element
object handles a model of the type and with the parameter values defined in the relevant control file:>>> hp.elements.land_dill.model.name 'hland_v1' >>> hp.elements.land_dill.model.parameters.control.area area(692.3) >>> hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.model.name 'hstream_v1' >>> hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.model.parameters.control.lag lag(0.583)
The LahnH example project comes with one auxiliary file, named land.py. This file defines general parameter values, valid for all single parameter objects of the different model instances which are referencing this file via the auxfile keyword argument. The following examples use the land_dill element to show that the affected parameters are also correctly prepared:
>>> control = hp.elements.land_dill.model.parameters.control >>> control.alpha alpha(1.0) >>> control.pcorr pcorr(1.0) >>> control.resparea resparea(True) >>> control.icmax icmax(field=1.0, forest=1.5)
We show that the individual
IcMax
values for two different elements are different, to demonstrate that parameter values defined within a master control file (ZoneType
) can affect the actual values of parameters defined in auxiliary control files:>>> from hydpy import round_ >>> round_(control.icmax.values) 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5 >>> round_( ... hp.elements.land_lahn_2.model.parameters.control.icmax.values) 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.5
Missing parameter information in auxiliary files results in errors like the following:
>>> filepath = "LahnH/control/default/land.py" >>> with TestIO(): ... with open(filepath) as infile: ... text = infile.read().replace("alpha(1.0)", "") ... with open(filepath, "w") as outfile: ... outfile.write(text) ... hp.prepare_models() Traceback (most recent call last): ... RuntimeError: While trying to initialise the model object of element `land_dill`, the following error occurred: While trying to load the control file `...land_dill.py`, the following error occurred: While trying to extract information for parameter `alpha` from file `land`, the following error occurred: The selected auxiliary file does not define value(s) for parameter `alpha`.
Completely wrong control files result in the following error:
>>> with TestIO(): ... with open("LahnH/control/default/land_dill.py", "w"): ... pass ... hp.prepare_models() Traceback (most recent call last): ... RuntimeError: While trying to initialise the model object of element `land_dill`, the following error occurred: Model parameters cannot be loaded from control file `...land_dill.py`. Please refer to the HydPy documentation on how to prepare control files properly.

save_controls
(parameterstep: Optional[Union[Period, datetime.timedelta, str]] = None, simulationstep: Optional[Union[Period, datetime.timedelta, str]] = None, auxfiler: Optional[auxfiletools.Auxfiler] = None) → None[source]¶ Write the control files of all current
Element
objects.We use the LahnH example project to demonstrate how to write a complete set of parameter control files. For convenience, we let function
prepare_full_example_2()
prepare a fully functionalHydPy
object, handling sevenElement
objects controlling fourhland_v1
and threehstream_v1
application models:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2()
At first, there is only one control subfolder named “default”, containing the seven master control files used in the step above:
>>> import os >>> with TestIO(): ... os.listdir("LahnH/control") ['default']
Next, we use the
ControlManager
to create a new directory and write analogue control files into it:>>> with TestIO(): ... pub.controlmanager.currentdir = "newdir" ... hp.save_controls() ... sorted(os.listdir("LahnH/control")) ['default', 'newdir']
We focus our examples on the (shorter) control files of application model
hstream_v1
. The values of parameterLag
andDamp
for the river channel connecting the outlets of subcatchment lahn_1 and lahn_2 are 0.583 days and 0.0, respectively:>>> model = hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.model >>> model.parameters.control lag(0.583) damp(0.0)
The corresponding written control file defines the same values:
>>> dir_ = "LahnH/control/newdir/" >>> with TestIO(): ... with open(dir_ + "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1d") parameterstep("1d") lag(0.583) damp(0.0)
Its name equals the element name. The time step information stems from the
Timegrid
object available viapub
:>>> pub.timegrids.stepsize Period("1d")
Use the
Auxfiler
class to avoid redefining the same parameter values in multiple control files. Here, we prepare anAuxfiler
object which handles the two parameters of the model discussed above:>>> from hydpy import Auxfiler >>> auxfiler = Auxfiler("hstream_v1") >>> auxfiler.hstream_v1.add_parameter( ... model.parameters.control.damp, filename="stream") >>> auxfiler.hstream_v1.add_parameter( ... model.parameters.control.lag, filename="stream")
When passing the
Auxfiler
object to the methodsave_controls()
, the control file of element stream_lahn_1_lahn_2 does not define the values of both parameters on its own, but references the auxiliary file stream.py instead:>>> with TestIO(): ... pub.controlmanager.currentdir = "newdir" ... hp.save_controls(auxfiler=auxfiler) ... with open(dir_ + "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1d") parameterstep("1d") lag(auxfile="stream") damp(auxfile="stream")
stream.py contains the actual value definitions:
>>> with TestIO(): ... with open(dir_ + "stream.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1d") parameterstep("1d") lag(0.583) damp(0.0)
The
hstream_v1
model of element stream_lahn_2_lahn_3 defines the same value for parameterDamp
but a different one for parameterLag
. Hence, onlyDamp
can reference control file stream.py:>>> with TestIO(): ... with open(dir_ + "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1d") parameterstep("1d") lag(0.417) damp(auxfile="stream")
Another option is to pass alternative step size information. The simulationstep information, which is no integral part of control files but useful for testing them, has no impact on the written data. However, passing an alternative parameterstep information changes the written values of time-dependent parameters both in the primary and the auxiliary control files, as to be expected:
>>> with TestIO(): ... pub.controlmanager.currentdir = "newdir" ... hp.save_controls( ... auxfiler=auxfiler, parameterstep="2d", simulationstep="1h") ... with open(dir_ + "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1h") parameterstep("2d") lag(auxfile="stream") damp(auxfile="stream")
>>> with TestIO(): ... with open(dir_ + "stream.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1h") parameterstep("2d") lag(0.2915) damp(0.0)
>>> with TestIO(): ... with open(dir_ + "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3.py") as controlfile: ... print(controlfile.read()) # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from hydpy.models.hstream_v1 import * simulationstep("1h") parameterstep("2d") lag(0.2085) damp(auxfile="stream")

load_conditions
() → None[source]¶ Load all currently relevant initial conditions.
The following examples demonstrate both the functionality of method
load_conditions()
andsave_conditions()
based on the LahnH project, which we prepare via functionprepare_full_example_2()
:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2()
Our
HydPy
instance hp is ready for the first simulation run, meaning the required initial conditions are available already. First, we start a simulation run covering the whole initialisation period and inspect the resulting soil moisture values ofElement
land_dill, handled by a sequence object of typeSM
:>>> hp.simulate() >>> sm = hp.elements.land_dill.model.sequences.states.sm >>> sm sm(184.098541, 180.176461, 198.689343, 195.462014, 210.856923, 208.319571, 220.881637, 218.898327, 229.022364, 227.431521, 235.597338, 234.329294)
By default, method
load_conditions()
always (re)loads the initial conditions from the directory with its name matching the start date of the simulation period, which we prove by also showing the related content of the respective condition file land_dill.py:>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.load_conditions() >>> sm sm(185.13164, 181.18755, 199.80432, 196.55888, 212.04018, 209.48859, 222.12115, 220.12671, 230.30756, 228.70779, 236.91943, 235.64427)
>>> path = "LahnH/conditions/init_1996_01_01_00_00_00/land_dill.py" >>> with TestIO(): ... with open(path, "r") as file_: ... lines = file_.read().split("\n") ... print(lines[10]) ... print(lines[11]) sm(185.13164, 181.18755, 199.80432, 196.55888, 212.04018, 209.48859, 222.12115, 220.12671, 230.30756, 228.70779, 236.91943, 235.64427)
Now we perform two consecutive runs, covering the first and the second half of the initialisation period, respectively, and write, in both cases, the resulting final conditions to disk:
>>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-01-03" >>> hp.simulate() >>> sm sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621) >>> with TestIO(): ... hp.save_conditions()
>>> pub.timegrids.sim.firstdate = "1996-01-03" >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-01-05" >>> hp.simulate() >>> with TestIO(): ... hp.save_conditions() >>> sm sm(184.098541, 180.176461, 198.689343, 195.462014, 210.856923, 208.319571, 220.881637, 218.898327, 229.022364, 227.431521, 235.597338, 234.329294)
Analogous to method
load_conditions()
, methodsave_conditions()
writes the resulting conditions to a directory with its name matching the end date of the simulation period, which we prove by reloading the conditions related to the middle of the initialisation period and showing the relevant file content:>>> with TestIO(): ... hp.load_conditions() >>> sm sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621)
>>> path = "LahnH/conditions/init_1996_01_03_00_00_00/land_dill.py" >>> with TestIO(): ... with open(path, "r") as file_: ... lines = file_.read().split("\n") ... print(lines[10]) ... print(lines[11]) ... print(lines[12]) sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621)
You can define another directory by assigning a different name to property
currentdir
of the actualConditionManager
instance:>>> with TestIO(): ... pub.conditionmanager.currentdir = "test" ... hp.save_conditions()
>>> path = "LahnH/conditions/test/land_dill.py" >>> with TestIO(): ... with open(path, "r") as file_: ... lines = file_.read().split("\n") ... print(lines[10]) ... print(lines[11]) ... print(lines[12]) sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621)
This change remains permanent until you undo it manually:
>>> sm(0.0) >>> pub.timegrids.sim.firstdate = "1996-01-01" >>> with TestIO(): ... hp.load_conditions() >>> sm sm(184.603966, 180.671117, 199.234825, 195.998635, 211.435809, 208.891492, 221.488046, 219.49929, 229.651122, 228.055912, 236.244147, 234.972621)
>>> with TestIO(): ... del pub.conditionmanager.currentdir ... hp.load_conditions() >>> sm sm(185.13164, 181.18755, 199.80432, 196.55888, 212.04018, 209.48859, 222.12115, 220.12671, 230.30756, 228.70779, 236.91943, 235.64427)
-
save_conditions
() → None[source]¶ Save all currently relevant final conditions.
See the documentation on method
load_conditions()
for further information.
-
trim_conditions
() → None[source]¶ Check all values of the condition sequences (
StateSequence
andLogSequence
objects) for boundary violations and fix them if necessary.We use the LahnH example project to explain the functionality of method
trim_conditions()
, that gives no response at all when all conditions are correctly set:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2() >>> with pub.options.warntrim(True): ... hp.trim_conditions()
If you try, for example, to set interception capacities (
Ic
) that violate the maximum capacity (IcMax
), you get a direct response based on functiontrim()
:>>> with pub.options.warntrim(True): ... hp.elements.land_dill.model.sequences.states.ic(1.2) Traceback (most recent call last): ... UserWarning: For variable `ic` of element `land_dill` at least one value needed to be trimmed. The old and the new value(s) are `1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2` and `1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2`, respectively.
However, changing the boundaries themselves without adjusting the conditions cannot be detected automatically. Whenever in doubt, call method
trim_conditions()
explicitly:>>> hp.elements.land_dill.model.parameters.control.icmax(1.1) >>> with pub.options.warntrim(True): ... hp.trim_conditions() Traceback (most recent call last): ... UserWarning: For variable `ic` of element `land_dill` at least one value needed to be trimmed. The old and the new value(s) are `1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2` and `1.0, 1.1, 1.0, 1.1, 1.0, 1.1, 1.0, 1.1, 1.0, 1.1, 1.0, 1.1`, respectively.
-
reset_conditions
() → None[source]¶ Reset all currently relevant condition sequences.
Method
reset_conditions()
is the most convenient way to perform simulations repeatedly for the same period, each time starting from the same initial conditions, e.g. for parameter calibration. EachStateSequence
andLogSequence
object remembers the last assigned values and can reactivate them for the mentioned purpose.For demonstration, we perform a simulation for the LahnH example project spanning four days:
>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2() >>> hp.simulate() >>> from hydpy import print_values >>> print_values(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644
Just repeating the simulation gives different results due to applying the final states of the first simulation run as the initial states of the second run:
>>> hp.simulate() >>> print_values(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 26.218473, 25.039964, 24.205384, 23.296241
Calling
reset_conditions()
first allows repeating the first simulation run exactly multiple times:>>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.simulate() >>> print_values(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644 >>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.simulate() >>> print_values(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644
-
property
conditions
¶ A nested dictionary, containing the values of all condition sequences of all currently handled models.
The primary purpose of property
conditions
is similar to the one of methodreset_conditions()
, to allow to perform repeated calculations starting from the same initial conditions. Nevertheless,conditions
is more flexible when it comes to handling multiple conditions, which can, for example, be useful for applying ensemble based assimilation algorithms.For demonstration, we perform simulations for the LahnH example project spanning the first three months of 1996. We begin with a preparation run beginning on the first day of January and ending on the 20th day of February:
>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1() >>> from hydpy import HydPy, pub, TestIO, print_values >>> with TestIO(): ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... pub.timegrids = "1996-01-01", "1996-04-01", "1d" ... hp.prepare_everything() >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-02-20" >>> hp.simulate() >>> print_values(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series[48:52]) 70.553509, 94.344086, nan, nan
At the end of the preparation run, a snow layer is covering the Lahn catchment. In the lahn_1 subcatchment, this snow layer contains 19.5 mm of frozen water and 1.7 mm of liquid water:
>>> lahn1_states = hp.elements.land_lahn_1.model.sequences.states >>> print_values([lahn1_states.sp.average_values()]) 19.543831 >>> print_values([lahn1_states.wc.average_values()]) 1.745963
Now we save the current conditions and perform the first simulation run from the 20th day of February until the end of March:
>>> conditions = hp.conditions >>> hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series = 0.0 >>> pub.timegrids.sim.firstdate = "1996-02-20" >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-04-01" >>> hp.simulate() >>> first = hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series.copy() >>> print_values(first[48:52]) 0.0, 0.0, 85.150677, 63.902098
To exactly repeat the last simulation run, we assign the memorised conditions to property
conditions
:>>> hp.conditions = conditions >>> print_values([lahn1_states.sp.average_values()]) 19.543831 >>> print_values([lahn1_states.wc.average_values()]) 1.745963
All discharge values of the second simulation run are identical with the ones of the first simulation run:
>>> hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series = 0.0 >>> pub.timegrids.sim.firstdate = "1996-02-20" >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-04-01" >>> hp.simulate() >>> second = hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series.copy() >>> print_values(second[48:52]) 0.0, 0.0, 85.150677, 63.902098 >>> all(first == second) True
We selected the snow period as an example due to potential problems with the limited water holding capacity of the snow layer, which depends on the ice content of the snow layer (
SP
) and the relative water holding capacity (WHC
). Due to this restriction, problems can occur. To give an example, we setWHC
to zero temporarily, apply the memorised conditions, and finally reset the original values ofWHC
:>>> for element in hp.elements.catchment: ... element.whc = element.model.parameters.control.whc.values ... element.model.parameters.control.whc = 0.0 >>> with pub.options.warntrim(False): ... hp.conditions = conditions >>> for element in hp.elements.catchment: ... element.model.parameters.control.whc = element.whc
Without any water holding capacity of the snow layer, its water content is zero despite the actual memorised value of 1.7 mm:
>>> print_values([lahn1_states.sp.average_values()]) 19.543831 >>> print_values([lahn1_states.wc.average_values()]) 0.0
What is happening in the case of such conflicts partly depends on the implementation of the respective application model. For safety, we suggest setting the option
warntrim
toTrue
before resetting conditions.

print_networkproperties
() → None[source]¶ Print some properties of the network defined by the currently relevant

is for convenience to summarise specific network measures likesegregatednetworks
.The LahnH example project defines a small, single network, with all catchments ultimately discharging to node lahn_3:
>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1() >>> from hydpy import HydPy, pub, TestIO >>> pub.timegrids = "1996-01-01", "1996-01-05", "1d" >>> with TestIO(): ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... hp.prepare_network() ... hp.prepare_models() >>> hp.print_networkproperties() Number of nodes: 4 Number of elements: 7 Number of end nodes: 1 Number of distinct networks: 1 Applied node variables: Q (4) Applied model types: hland_v1 (4) and hstream_v1 (3)
-
property
endnodes
¶ All currently relevant
Node
objects which define a downstream endpoint of the network.The LahnH example project defines a small, single network, with all catchments ultimately discharging to node lahn_3:
>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1() >>> from hydpy import HydPy, TestIO >>> with TestIO(): ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... hp.prepare_network() >>> hp.endnodes Nodes("lahn_3")
After breaking the connection between node lahn_1 and its downstream river channel element stream_lahn_1_lahn2, lahn_1 also becomes an end node:
>>> hp.nodes.lahn_1.exits.mutable = True >>> hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.inlets.mutable = True >>> del hp.nodes.lahn_1.exits.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2 >>> del hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.inlets.lahn_1 >>> hp.endnodes Nodes("lahn_1", "lahn_3")
Even with a proper connection to a downstream element, a node counts as an end node as long as these elements are not part of the currently relevant network (meaning, currently handled by the
HydPy
object):>>> del hp.elements.stream_dill_lahn_2 >>> hp.nodes.dill.exits Elements("stream_dill_lahn_2") >>> hp.endnodes Nodes("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_3")
Connections with “remote” elements are considered irrelevant:
>>> stream = hp.elements.stream_lahn_2_lahn_3 >>> stream.inlets.mutable = True >>> stream.receivers.mutable = True >>> stream.receivers += stream.inlets.lahn_2 >>> del stream.inlets.lahn_2 >>> hp.endnodes Nodes("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_2", "lahn_3")
-
property
segregatednetworks
¶ The number of segregated networks defined by the currently relevant
Node

objects.Each end node (as defined by property
endnodes
) eventually defines a single network, segregated from the networks of other end nodes. Due to the LahnH example project defining only a single end node, there can be only one segregate network, accordingly:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_1 >>> prepare_full_example_1() >>> from hydpy import HydPy, TestIO >>> with TestIO(): ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... hp.prepare_network() >>> hp.segregatednetworks Selections("lahn_3") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_3 Selection("lahn_3", nodes=("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_2", "lahn_3"), elements=("land_dill", "land_lahn_1", "land_lahn_2", "land_lahn_3", "stream_dill_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3"))
Revisiting the examples of the documentation on property
endnodes
, we get the similar results. Note that the segregated networks are alwaysSelection
objects, that do not overlap each other (meaning, noNode
orElement
object occurs more than one time):>>> hp.nodes.lahn_1.exits.mutable = True >>> hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.inlets.mutable = True >>> del hp.nodes.lahn_1.exits.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2 >>> del hp.elements.stream_lahn_1_lahn_2.inlets.lahn_1 >>> hp.segregatednetworks Selections("lahn_1", "lahn_3") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_1 Selection("lahn_1", nodes="lahn_1", elements="land_lahn_1") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_3 Selection("lahn_3", nodes=("dill", "lahn_2", "lahn_3"), elements=("land_dill", "land_lahn_2", "land_lahn_3", "stream_dill_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3"))
>>> del hp.elements.stream_dill_lahn_2 >>> hp.nodes.dill.exits Elements("stream_dill_lahn_2") >>> hp.segregatednetworks Selections("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_3") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.dill Selection("dill", nodes="dill", elements="land_dill") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_1 Selection("lahn_1", nodes="lahn_1", elements="land_lahn_1") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_3 Selection("lahn_3", nodes=("lahn_2", "lahn_3"), elements=("land_lahn_2", "land_lahn_3", "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3"))
>>> stream = hp.elements.stream_lahn_2_lahn_3 >>> stream.inlets.mutable = True >>> stream.receivers.mutable = True >>> stream.receivers += stream.inlets.lahn_2 >>> del stream.inlets.lahn_2 >>> hp.segregatednetworks Selections("dill", "lahn_1", "lahn_2", "lahn_3") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.dill Selection("dill", nodes="dill", elements="land_dill") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_1 Selection("lahn_1", nodes="lahn_1", elements="land_lahn_1") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_2 Selection("lahn_2", nodes="lahn_2", elements=("land_lahn_2", "stream_lahn_1_lahn_2")) >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_3 Selection("lahn_3", nodes="lahn_3", elements=("land_lahn_3", "stream_lahn_2_lahn_3"))
In all examples above, the number of the end nodes and the number of the segregated networks are identical, which is not the case when two or more networks share the same network. We restore our original network and add two additional end nodes, nowhere and somewhere, linking the first one with element stream_lahn_2_lahn_3 and the second one with the additional element stream_lahn_1_nowhere, which we connect to node lahn_1:
>>> with TestIO(): ... hp = HydPy("LahnH") ... hp.prepare_network() >>> from hydpy import Element >>> _ = Element("stream_lahn_2_lahn_3", outlets="nowhere") >>> hp.nodes += "nowhere" >>> hp.elements += Element("stream_lahn_1_nowhere", ... inlets="lahn_1", ... outlets="somewhere") >>> hp.nodes += "somewhere"
Now there are three end nodes but only two segregated networks, as node nowhere does not reference any upstream devices not also referenced by node lahn_3. The unique feature of element lahn_3 and stream_lahn_1_nowhere is that they drain to either node lahn_3 or somewhere but not both, which is why they are the only members of selection lahn_3 and somewhere, respectively:
>>> hp.endnodes Nodes("lahn_3", "nowhere", "somewhere") >>> hp.segregatednetworks Selections("lahn_3", "somewhere") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.lahn_3 Selection("lahn_3", nodes="lahn_3", elements="land_lahn_3") >>> hp.segregatednetworks.somewhere Selection("somewhere", nodes="somewhere", elements="stream_lahn_1_nowhere")

update_devices
(*, selection: Optional[selectiontools.Selection] = None, nodes: Optional[Union[Node, str, Iterable[Union[Node, str]]]] = None, elements: Optional[Union[Element, str, Iterable[Union[Element, str]]]] = None) → None[source]¶ Determine the order, in which method
simulate()
processes the currently relevantNode
andElement
objects.Eventually passed
Node
andElement
objects (for example, contained within aSelection
object) replace existing ones.As described in the documentation on the method
prepare_network()
, aHydPy
object usually starts with the “complete” network of the considered project:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2()
The safest approach to “activate” another selection is to use the method
update_devices()
. The first option is to pass a completeSelection
object:>>> pub.selections.headwaters Selection("headwaters", nodes=("dill", "lahn_1"), elements=("land_dill", "land_lahn_1"))
>>> hp.update_devices(selection=pub.selections.headwaters) >>> hp.nodes Nodes("dill", "lahn_1") >>> hp.elements Elements("land_dill", "land_lahn_1")
Method
update_devices()
automatically updates the deviceorder, assuring methodsimulate()
processes “upstream” model instances before it processes their “downstream” neighbours:>>> for device in hp.deviceorder: ... print(device) land_lahn_1 lahn_1 land_dill dill
Second, you can pass some nodes only, which by the way removes the old elements:
>>> hp.update_devices(nodes="dill") >>> hp.nodes Nodes("dill") >>> hp.elements Elements() >>> for device in hp.deviceorder: ... print(device) dill
Third, you can pass some elements only, which by the way removes the old nodes:
>>> hp.update_devices(elements=["land_lahn_1", "land_dill"]) >>> hp.nodes Nodes() >>> hp.elements Elements("land_dill", "land_lahn_1") >>> for device in hp.deviceorder: ... print(device) land_lahn_1 land_dill
Fourth, you can pass nodes and elements at the same time:
>>> hp.update_devices(nodes="dill", ... elements=["land_lahn_1", "land_dill"]) >>> hp.nodes Nodes("dill") >>> hp.elements Elements("land_dill", "land_lahn_1") >>> for device in hp.deviceorder: ... print(device) land_lahn_1 land_dill dill
Fifth, you can pass no argument at all, which only updates the device order:
>>> del hp.nodes.dill >>> for device in hp.deviceorder: ... print(device) land_lahn_1 land_dill dill >>> hp.update_devices() >>> for device in hp.deviceorder: ... print(device) land_lahn_1 land_dill
Method
update_devices()
does not allow to pass single devices and devices contained within a selection at the same time:>>> hp.update_devices(selection=pub.selections.headwaters, ... nodes="dill") Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: Method `update_devices` of class `HydPy` does not allow to use both the `selection` argument and the `nodes` or the `elements` argument at the same time.

simulate
() → None[source]¶ Perform a simulation run over the actual simulation period defined by the
Timegrids
object stored in modulepub
.We let function
prepare_full_example_2()
prepare a runnableHydPy
object related to the LahnH example project:>>> from hydpy.examples import prepare_full_example_2 >>> hp, pub, TestIO = prepare_full_example_2()
First, we execute a default simulation run covering the whole simulation period and inspect the discharge series simulated at the outlet of the river basin, represented by node lahn_3:
>>> hp.simulate() >>> from hydpy import round_ >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644
After resetting the initial conditions via method
reset_conditions()
, we repeat the simulation run and get the same results:>>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644
Simulation runs do not need to cover the whole initialisation period at once. After setting the
lastdate
property of the simTimegrid
of theTimegrids
objects stored within modulepub
to the middle of the initialisation period, methodsimulate()
calculates the first two discharge values only:>>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series = 0.0 >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-01-03" >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 0.0, 0.0
After justing the both
firstdate
andlastdate
of the simTimegrid
to the second half of the initialisation period,simulate()
completes the time-series:>>> pub.timegrids.sim.firstdate = "1996-01-03" >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-01-05" >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644
In the above examples, each
Model
object (handled by anElement
object) passes its simulated values via aNode
object to its downstreamModel
object. There are four ways to deviate from this default behaviour, that can be selected for each node individually via the propertydeploymode
. We focus on node lahn_2 in the following, being the upstream neighbour of node lahn_3. So far, its deploy mode is newsim, meaning that the node passes newly calculated simulation values to the downstream element stream_lahn_2_lahn_3:>>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.deploymode 'newsim'
Under the second option oldsim, node lahn_2 does not pass the discharge values simulated in the next simulation run but the “old” discharge values already available by the
series
array of theSim
sequence. This behaviour can, for example, be useful when calibrating subsequent subareas of a river basin sequentially, beginning with the headwaters and continuing with their downstream neighbours. For the clarity of this example, we decrease all values of the “old” simulated series of node lahn_2 by 10 m³/s:>>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 42.3697, 27.210443, 22.930066, 20.20133 >>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.deploymode = "oldsim" >>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series -= 10.0
After performing another simulation run (over the whole initialisation period, again), the modified discharge values of node lahn_2 are unchanged. The simulated values of node lahn_3 are, compared to the newsim runs, decreased by 10 m³/s (there is no time delay or dampening of the discharge values between both nodes due to the
Lag
time of application modelhstream_v1
being smaller than the simulation time step):>>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> pub.timegrids.sim.firstdate = "1996-01-01" >>> pub.timegrids.sim.lastdate = "1996-01-05" >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 32.3697, 17.210443, 12.930066, 10.20133 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 44.043745, 27.320814, 21.922053, 18.413644
The third option is obs, where node lahn_2 receives and stores the values from its upstream models but passes other, observed values, handled by sequence
Obs
, which we, for simplicity, set to zero for the complete initialisation and simulation period (more often, one would read measured data from files via methods asload_obsseries()
):>>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.deploymode = "obs" >>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.obs.series = 0.0
Now the simulated values of node lahn_2 are identical with the ones of the newsim example, but the simulated values of node lahn_3 are lower due to receiving the observed instead of the simulated values from upstream:
>>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series = 0.0 >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.obs.series) 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 42.3697, 27.210443, 22.930066, 20.20133 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 11.674045, 10.110371, 8.991987, 8.212314
Unfortunately, observation time series are often incomplete. HydPy generally uses
numpy
nan
to represent missing values. Passingnan
inputs to a model usually results innan
outputs. Hence, after assigningnan
to some entries of the observation series of node lahn_2, the simulation series of node lahn_3 also containsnan
values:>>> from numpy import nan >>> with pub.options.checkseries(False): ... hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.obs.series= 0.0, nan, 0.0, nan >>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series = 0.0 >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.obs.series) 0.0, nan, 0.0, nan >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 42.3697, 27.210443, 22.930066, 20.20133 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 11.674045, nan, 8.991987, nan
To avoid the calculation of
nan
values, one can select the fourth option obs_newsim. Now the priority for node lahn_2 is to deploy its observed values. However, for each missing observation, it deploys its newly simulated value instead:>>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.deploymode = "obs_newsim" >>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.obs.series) 0.0, nan, 0.0, nan >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 42.3697, 27.210443, 22.930066, 20.20133 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 11.674045, 37.320814, 8.991987, 28.413644
The fifth option obs_oldsim serves the same purpose as option obs_newsim but uses already available “old” simulation results as substitutes:
>>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.deploymode = "obs_oldsim" >>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series = ( ... 32.3697, 17.210443, 12.930066, 10.20133) >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.obs.series) 0.0, nan, 0.0, nan >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 32.3697, 17.210443, 12.930066, 10.20133 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 11.674045, 27.320814, 8.991987, 18.413644
The last example shows that resetting option
deploymode
to newsim results in the default behaviour of the methodsimulate()
, again:>>> hp.nodes.lahn_2.deploymode = "newsim" >>> hp.reset_conditions() >>> hp.simulate() >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_2.sequences.sim.series) 42.3697, 27.210443, 22.930066, 20.20133 >>> round_(hp.nodes.lahn_3.sequences.sim.series) 54.043745, 37.320814, 31.922053, 28.413644
