1 – ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL


What you will learnThe tutorial provides step‐by‐step instructions for you to create a modeling solution by connecting components to each other.

In this case, we will connect the SoilBorne component (which has been created in the Tutorial ‐ Creating a component) to the Weather provider component, which provides the necessary input weather data to SoilBorne.

We will then add a new component to the modeling solution so as to calculate the pathogen growth rate. In particular, we will add the SoilT component, which contains the strategies to calculate the soil temperature in different soil layers starting from the air temperature.

For this purposes, we will use the tools available in BioMA for components composition (CLIC) and simulation results visualization (GDD). Furthermore, we will use the BioMA Spatial graphical user interface to run the simulation.

STEP 2 - COMPOSE THE MODELING SOLUTION

Step 2 - Compose the modeling solution

Before starting this step

We assume that you have completed the Tutorial ‐ Creating a component located in the package we have provided (see “Download and unzip the tutorial package” on page 6). The tutorial guides you through the steps of creating the new component MY.EXAMPLE.SoilBorne containing a strategy with the aim to simulate the soil borne fungal pathogens growth. This is actually the output of the first tutorial.

Goal of this step

In this step we will build the modeling solution by connecting two model components to each other and by defining their order of execution in the model.

At the end, the modelling solution will contain two components:

• SoilBorne pathogen component

• WeatherProvider component

The aim of this modeling solution is to calculate the pathogen growth rate by using the air temperature.

See:

• “Connecting the components in CLIC” on page 9

• “Viewing and managing the links graphically” on page 18

STEP 3 - BUILD THE PROJECT IN SHARPDEVELOP 4.4

I

Wait for the procedure to complete. The project should build successfully.

To add the ConsoleApplication and build the project:

Now, we will add to the SharpDevelop solution the ConsoleApplication that was created via CLIC in Step 2:

1 in the Project pane of SharpDevelop, right‐click the main solution (as shown below) and select Add > Existing project:



2 Browse to the [TutorialInstallationFolder]/DestinationFolder/CompositionLayerConsoleTest folder.

3 Select the ConsoleApplicationTestSoilBorneModelingSolution.csproj file and click Open.

As a result, the two projects will be listed in the Projects pane of SharpDevelop as shown below:



4 Right‐click the ConsoleApplication project again and select Build.

Wait for the procedure to complete. The project should build successfully.

Run the Console application in SharpDevelop

We can now run the ConsoleApplication project.

To run the Console application:

Before running the application, it is required that you edit some parameters:

1 On the right‐side of the SharpDevelop window, click the Program.cs tab:

2 In the code area, browse to the line 35, then decomment lines 35 to 39 included, as shown below:



This way, you are setting the simulation control so as to simulate the year 2000 and the location with ID 62154.

3 In the code area, browse to the line number 50, as shown below:

4 Replace the existing path file with the full path and name of the XML parameters file you created with MPE in Step 9 (sub‐step 10) of the first Tutorial ‐ Creating a component. In our example, the file name would be MY.EXAMPLE.SoilBorne.Strategies_RGRTRYanHunt.xml

5 In the next line, specify as the value for SetParametersKey the parameters key you defined via MPE in the same Step 9 (sub‐step 5) of the first Tutorial ‐ Creating a component. In our example, this would be “Default”, as shown below:

6 In the code area, browse to the line number 70 and decomment it, along with the line 71, as shown below:



This way, you are setting the weather provider so as to use a CSV file that is included in the ConsoleApplication.

7 In the Projects right‐pane of SharpDevelop, right‐click ConsoleApplicationTestSoilTModelingSolution and select Build again.

Wait for the procedure to complete. As a result, GDD should be launched, which allows viewing the results using several graphs.



Using GDD to graphically view the simulation outputs

GDD, that opens after running the console application, allows viewing the model simulation outputs, both in graphical and tabular forms.

1 In the GDD main window, from the Component dropdown list at the top, select an item. For the sake of this tutorial, we will select SoilBornePathogenComponent_Rates:

As a result the Simulation outputs’ data will be displayed in the window:



2 To view the data in a graph, click the available tabs on the top of the window. The following shows an example of graph that allows plotting variables versus time (Graph Var vs Time tab):



3 Click the info button at the bottom‐right, then click Help to display the User Guide for further information on using GDD.


• “Step 4 ‐ Add a component to the modeling solution” on page 29


STEP 4 - ADD A COMPONENT TO THE MODELING SOLUTION

Step 4 - Add a component to the modeling solutionIn this step, we will add a new component (SoilT) to the new modelling solution, which, as a result, will contain three components:

• SoilBorne pathogen component

• WeatherProvider component

• SoilT component (which is provided in the tutorial package within the folder [TutorialInstallationFolder]/SoilTComponent)

Modeling solution purpose - Why SoilT must be added

We want to calculate the pathogen growth rate by using the soil temperature rather than the air temperature.

For this purpose, we must use the SoilT component, which contains the strategies to calculate the soil temperature in different soil layers starting from the air temperature.

The inputs needed by the SoilT component are:

• Minimum air temperature

• Maximum air temperature

• Solar radiation

We will then set the links between the WeatherComponent and the SoilT components, as well as, between the SoilT and the SoilBorne pathogen components.

Add the component

To add the SoilT component in CLIC:

1 Go back to CLIC. (If you closed CLIC without saving your configuration, you must repeat “Step 2 ‐ Compose the modeling solution” on page 9).

2 Click the Load configuration button at the bottom‐left, then browse to select the configuration you saved in Step 2.

3 In the Load existing components window that is displayed, click Load libraries, then browse to the [TutorialInstallationFolder]/SoilTComponent folder of the tutorial package, select all DLLs, and click Open. The libraries will be added to the Loaded libraries upper pane.



4 In the Existing loaded components lower pane, select the SoilT component (namely, EC.JRC.MARS.SoilTComponent.SoilT).

5 Click the Next button at the bottom‐right.

6 In the Create new components window that is displayed, click Next. The Connect the components window is displayed.

7 Under Specify connections, select from the dropdown lists the following:

‐ Source component: WeatherProviderSimulationComponent1

‐ Destination component: SoilT1

8 Click the Next button at the bottom‐right. The Set the links between components window is displayed:

Note:

Note that, in the Visio window that has been displayed when launching CLIC, the new added SoilT component appeared.



9 Select the Connection you just created (as shown above) and click the Edit links button.

10 In the Set the links between the domain classes of the components window that is displayed, select from the dropdown lists the following:

‐ Source domain class: Grid_weather

‐ Destination domain class: SoilTemperatureExogenous

as shown below:

11 Click the Edit properties links button.

12 The window Set the links between the properties of the domain classes is displayed. We want to set the links in both levels so that the soil temperature is equal to the max air temperature.

For this purpose, set the following values:



Here it is the result:

13 Click Save changes to go back to the previous window and set the following:

‐ Source domain class: OtherWeatherData

‐ Destination domain class: SoilTemperatureExogenous

14 Click the Edit properties links button again. In the window that is displayed, set the following values:
