Simulation

Time

Configure the number or years to run the simulation and time step. If you have observed weather data, make sure your simulation time falls within these dates.

Description

id

int

Auto-assigned identifier

day_start

int

Beginning Julian day of simulation If zero, the model starts the simulation on January 1

day_end

int

Ending Julian day of simulation If zero, the model ends the simulation on December 31

step

int

Time steps in a day for rainfall, runoff and routing

print_prt

Field	Type	Description
id	int	Auto-assigned identifier
nyskip	int	Number of years to not print output
day_start	int	Beginning Julian day of simulation to start printing output files for daily printing only
yrc_start	int	Beginning year of simulation to start printing output files
day_end	int	Ending Julian day of simulation to stop printing output files for daily printing only
yrc_end	int	Ending year of simulation to stop printing output files
interval	int	Daily print within the period (e.g., interval=2 will print every other day)
csvout	bool	Print .csv files in addition to text files
dbout	bool	Print database (not currently active)
cdfout	bool	Print netcdf (not currently active)
soilout	bool	Print soil nutrients carbon output file
mgtout	bool	Print management output file
hydcon	bool	Print hydrograph connect output file
fdcout	bool	Print flow duration curve output file

print_prt_object

Each row in print_prt_object represents an output file that can be print daily, monthly, yearly, and average annual output for each.

Field	Type	Description
id	int	Auto-assigned identifier
print_prt_id	int	ID of print_prt row
name	text	Name of print object
daily	bool	Print daily output
monthly	bool	Print monthly output
yearly	bool	Print yearly output
avann	bool	Print average annual output

Daily printing of all files could cause very large output (exceeding hard drive space)
