TSTool / Command / ReadMODSIM

Overview

The ReadMODSIM command reads one or more time series from a MODSIM file. MODSIM is a node/link model used to simulate river basins (see the MODSIM Input Type Appendix). Specify a node/link name and data type to read a single time series – if not specified all time series from the file will be read. An alias can be assigned to each time series.

Command Editor

The command is available in the following TSTool menu:

  • Commands / Read Time Series

The following dialog is used to edit the command and illustrates the syntax. When a file is selected, the available data types are listed, based on the file extension (the types are not read from the file).

Command Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

ReadMODSIM(Parameter="Value",...)

Command Parameters

Parameter            Description Default                           
InputFile
required		 The name of the MODSIM file to read, surrounded by double quotes. The path to the file can be absolute or relative to the working directory. None – must be specified.
TSID
required		 A time series identifier pattern to filter the read – this is constructed in the editor dialog from individual identifier parts – the location and data type are specified and used in the time series identifier. None – must be specified to match a single time series.
Alias
required		 The alias to assign to the time series, as a literal string or using the special formatting characters listed by the command editor. The alias is a short identifier used by other commands to locate time series for processing, as an alternative to the time series identifier (TSID). None – must be specified.
InputStart The start of the period to read data – specify if the period should be different from the global query period. Use the global query period.
InputEnd The end of the period to read data – specify if the period should be different from the global query period. Use the global query period.

Examples

See the automated tests.

A sample command file is as follows:

ReadMODSIM(Alias=”BIGTOM”,InputFile="BIGTOM17.RES",TSID="GREELEYCBT..STOR_TRG..")
