uwg.simparam module

Class for simulation time parameters.

class uwg.simparam.SimParam(dt, timefor, M, DAY, days)

Bases: object

Calculates simulation time parameters.

Simulation time parameters are calculated based on initial date and weather data time step, and simulation timestep.

Parameters:

• dt – Number for simulation time step in seconds.

• timefor – Number for weather data time-step in seconds.

• M – Number between 1 and 12 indicating the simulation start month.

• DAY – Number between 1 and 31 indicating the simulation start day.

• days – Number indicating number of days to simulate.

Properties:

• dt – uwg time simulation time step

• timeForcing – weather data timestep

• month – start month

• day – start day

• days – number of days in simulation

• timePrint – weather data timestep

• timeDay – number of times weather senses in a day

• timeSim – number of steps in weather data simulation

• timeMax – total seconds in simulation days

• nt – total number of timesteps

• inobis – list of julian dates for the start of the months

• julian – simulation start julian date

• timeInitial – epw sensor data for initial time based on julian day & timesteps

• timeFinal – epw sensor data for final time based on julian day & timesteps

• secDay – current seconds in day

• hourDay – current hours in day
