Welcome to the May 2021 edition of our monthly update. Our main goal was the preparation for the switch of the dense flow model com1DFA from a C code to python (cython) code. This meant to check every little detail and difference that we found as well as:
-
updated the documentation for the new python com1DFAP: algorithm, workflow and description
-
updated the re-projection method of particles. Now particles are re-projected normal to the surface and not vertically. This is especially important at sharp drops. We also added a test case for this.
-
restructured the com1DFA run workflow
-
now everything is controlled in model configuration via ini (the previous com1DFA had a lot of internal setup)
-
allow for parameter variation runs right from python
-
new naming of simulations which provides easy filtering options
-
-
restructured the benchmark workflow and updated run scripts for standard tests
-
added simple functions to fetch benchmarks
-
simplify plotting and AIMEC path functions according to new structure based on simulation name and configuration
-
-
com2AB (Alpha Beta) now allows for running with custom parameters
-
added an export function to visualise particle properties with Paraview
-
started the development of the QGis Connection. See this repository for the development.
Since we are now nearing the milestone of our first public prototype, I guess we will have to start posting some nice graphics as well… So watch this space for upcoming posts! :-)
