What is it?

A python package enabling user to call all the epanet programmers toolkit functions within python scripts.

Installation

Windows:

Download the MS Windows installer and run to install. Since version 0.4.0.1 “python wheels “ packages are also provided. So, the following command can also be used to install on windows

pip install epanettools

POSIX (e.g. Linux, OS-X):

Download source archive (zip file), extract and run (as root)

[sudo] python setup.py install

or just type

[sudo]  pip install epanettools

Usage:

>>> from epanet import epanet2 as et
    >>> p="epanet/examples/simple/"
>>> ret=et.ENopen(p+"Net3.inp",p+"Net3.rpt","")

Example 1:

Retrieve simulation properties.

Basic properties of the network

>>> ret,result=et.ENgetcount(et.EN_LINKCOUNT)
>>> print(ret)
0
    >>> print(result)
    119
>>> ret,result=et.ENgetcount(et.EN_NODECOUNT)
>>> print(ret)
0
>>> print(result)
97
    >>> node='105'
    >>> ret,index=et.ENgetnodeindex(node)
    >>> print(ret)
    0
    >>> print ("Node " + node + " has index : " + str(index))
    Node 105 has index : 12

Get the list of nodes

>>> ret,nnodes=et.ENgetcount(et.EN_NODECOUNT)
>>> nodes=[]
>>> pres=[]
>>> time=[]
>>> for index in range(1,nnodes):
...     ret,t=et.ENgetnodeid(index)
...     nodes.append(t)
...     t=[]
...     pres.append(t)
>>> print (nodes)       #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
...                     #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    ['10', '15', '20', '35', '40', '50', '60', ..., '275', 'River', 'Lake', '1', '2']

Hydraulic Simulation

>>> et.ENopenH()
0
>>> et.ENinitH(0)
0
>>> while True :
...    ret,t=et.ENrunH()
...    time.append(t)
...    # Retrieve hydraulic results for time t
...    for  i in range(0,len(nodes)):
...        ret,p=et.ENgetnodevalue(i+1, et.EN_PRESSURE )
...        pres[i].append(p)
...    ret,tstep=et.ENnextH()
...    if (tstep<=0):
...        break
>>> ret=et.ENcloseH()
>>> print([round(x,4) for x in pres[0]])   #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
...                                         #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    [-0.6398, 40.1651, 40.891, 41.0433, ..., 0.569, -0.8864, 0.2997]

Pressure at the node ‘10’

>>> ret,ind=et.ENgetnodeindex("10")
>>> print (ind)
1
>>> print([round(x,4) for x in pres[ind+1]]) # remember epanet count starts at 1.
...                                          #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
...                                          #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    [12.5657, 12.9353, 13.4351, 14.0307, ..., 13.1174, 13.3985, 13.5478]
