Forcings .bc file¶
The forcings .bc files contain forcing data for point locations, for example time series input for a boundary condition. Various quantities and function types are supported.
The forcings file is represented by the classes below.
Model¶
Representation of a .bc file in various classes.
Most relevant classes are:
- ForcingModel: toplevel class containing the whole .bc file contents.
- ForcingBase subclasses: containing the actual data columns, for example: TimeSeries, HarmonicComponent, AstronomicComponent, HarmonicCorrection, AstronomicCorrection, Constant, T3D.
ForcingData = Union[float, RealTime, ForcingModel]
