US-EPA-SWMM python interface

This is an API for reading, manipulating and running SWMM-Projects

With this package you can read INP-files, manipulate them and write new ones. You can run swmm within the python api. And you can read the OUT-file as a pandas DataFrame for further analysis.

Install the package:

pip install swmm-api

Read the INP-File

from swmm_api.input_file.helpers.sections import TIMESERIES
from swmm_api.input_file import read_inp_file
from swmm_api.input_file.inp_sections_generic import TimeseriesSection
inp = read_inp_file('inputfile.inp', convert_sections=[TIMESERIES])

# convert_sections limits the convertions during the reading of the file to the following section
# remove "convert_sections" to convert all sections 
# converting sections helps manipulating the inp file
# unconverted sections will be loaded as the raw string

sec_timeseries = inp[TIMESERIES]  # type: TimeseriesSection
timeseries_dict = sec_timeseries.to_pandas  # type: Dict[str, pandas.Series]
ts = timeseries_dict['regenseries']

Write the manipulated INP-File

from swmm_api.input_file import write_inp_file
write_inp_file(inp, 'new_inputfile.inp')

Run SWMM

from swmm_api.run import swmm5_run
swmm5_run('new_inputfile.inp')

Read the OUT-File

from swmm_api.output_file import out2frame
df = out2frame('new_inputfile.out')  # type: pandas.DataFrame
