CassavaPy

A simple module to write files, run simulations and get outputs from DSSAT-Manihot model.

Why CassavaPy?

Apart from get hands dirty with OOP, the aim of this module is to make my life easier during my master degree. I did not found nothing that answer my needs, so I decided to make it myself.

Since my work is with irrigation and planting dates, the focus of CassavaPy is there.

What CassavaPy can do?

1. Create Experimental and Seasonal files and change the following:

• Planting Dates
• Harvest Dates
• Irrigation
• Field (Soil and Weather Station) - One by File
• Simulation Start Date (.EXP files) - One by File - a parameter from Simulation Controls
• Genotype - One by File

2. Create Batch Files

• For Seasonal
• For Experimental
• More than one .EXP or .SNX file by Batch

3. Run Batch Files

4. Get Simulation Outputs

How CassavaPy should be improved in the future?

1) I am working on a Documentation

2) Allows to change Initial Conditions.

3) Allows to put more than one Field, Genotype and Simulation Controls by file.

4) Improve the "Get Ouputs" part.
