MDU file

The MDU file is the main input file for D-Flow FM. It is represented by the classes below.

Model

ExternalForcing (INIBasedModel) pydantic-model

The [External Forcing] section in an MDU file.

This model is typically referenced under FMModel.external_forcing.

All lowercased attributes match with the [External Forcing] input as described in UM Sec.A.

Generic attribute for models that have children fields that could contain files.

Source code in hydrolib/core/io/mdu/models.py 
def is_intermediate_link(self) -> bool:
    return True

FMModel (INIModel) pydantic-model

The overall FM model that contains the contents of the toplevel MDU file.

All lowercased attributes match with the supported "[section]"s as described in UM Sec.A.

Each of these class attributes refers to an underlying model class for that particular section.

Geometry (INIBasedModel) pydantic-model

The [Geometry] section in an MDU file.

This model is typically referenced under FMModel.geometry.

All lowercased attributes match with the [Geometry] input as described in UM Sec.A.

Generic attribute for models that have children fields that could contain files.
