External forcings file¶
The external forcing .ext file contains the forcing data for a D-Flow FM model.
This includes open boundaries, lateral discharges and meteorological forcings.
The documentation below only concerns the 'new' format (ExtForceFileNew in the MDU file).
Class hierarchy¶
The [Meteo] and [Spatial] blocks (this file) and the [Initial] / [Parameter] blocks
(the initial field file) are spatial-field blocks that share their field
validation. The shared logic lives in two plain validator mixins, while INIBasedModel
is mixed in only at the two concrete block bases.

note for OperandInterpolationValidators "operand + interpolationMethod validators (all four blocks)"
note for LocationTypeDataFileTypeValidators "locationType + dataFileType validators (not Meteo)"
note for SpatialForcingBase "file-model resolution, shared comments, unknown-keyword policy"
note for AbstractSpatialField "averagingType + datafile validators"
Reading the diagram:
OperandInterpolationValidatorsandLocationTypeDataFileTypeValidatorsare independent plain mixins (not models, and neither inherits the other). The former holds theoperand/interpolationMethodvalidators shared by all four blocks; the latter holds thelocationType/dataFileTypevalidators shared bySpatial,InitialFieldandParameterField(notMeteo, which has neither field).INIBasedModelis inherited only by the two concrete block bases:SpatialForcingBase(Meteo/Spatial) andAbstractSpatialField(InitialField/ParameterField).- Each block base inherits exactly the validator mixins it needs:
SpatialForcingBaseinheritsOperandInterpolationValidators;AbstractSpatialFieldinherits both mixins; andSpatialaddsLocationTypeDataFileTypeValidatorson top ofSpatialForcingBase. averagingTypeis validated per-class (Spatial,AbstractSpatialField) rather than in a shared mixin, becauseMeteoreachesOperandInterpolationValidatorstoo and storesaveragingTypeas a raw integer.

n_forcing_blocks
property
¶
Total number of forcing blocks held across all block types.
Sums every [Boundary], [Lateral], [SourceSink], [Meteo] and
[Spatial] block, whether produced by conversion or loaded from an existing
file. Use this to decide whether the model has any content worth writing;
counting the individual lists by hand is error-prone and has silently
dropped block types before.

__init__(dynamic_fields=None, **data)
¶
Initialize SourceSink and set dynamic fields as instance attributes.
When dynamic_fields is provided, exactly those names (whose values are passed
in data) are attached onto this instance. When it is omitted, the legacy
behaviour applies: every key in data that starts with one of
SOURCE_SINKS_QUANTITIES_VALID_PREFIXES is attached. In both cases the values
are stored as-is on the instance (in model_extra); no coercion is applied yet.
Args:
dynamic_fields: Names of extra fields (whose values are passed in data)
to attach onto this instance. If None, the prefix-based detection is
used instead.
**data: The regular SourceSink field values, plus the values for any dynamic
fields.

validate_location_specification(values)
¶
Ensures that either locationfile or a valid set of coordinates is provided.
This validation enforces that at least one of the following conditions is met:
1. locationfile is provided.
2. The combination of numcoordinates, xcoordinates, and ycoordinates is valid:
- xcoordinates and ycoordinates must be lists of equal length.
- The length of xcoordinates and ycoordinates must match numcoordinates.
Raises:
ValueError: If neither locationfile nor a valid coordinate set is provided.
Returns: Dict: The validated input values.

validate_datavalue_or_datafile(values)
classmethod
¶
Validates the two mutually exclusive usage paths of a Spatial block.
When dataValue is provided the block describes a constant value applied
inside a polygon mask. In this mode:
- dataFile and dataFileType must not be specified.
- targetMaskFile (a .pol file) is optional but often used.
- interpolationMethod must be constant (set automatically when omitted).
When dataValue is absent, dataFile and dataFileType are both
required.
Note: using dataFileType=polygon for "inside polygon" initial-condition
data is deprecated. Use dataValue + targetMaskFile=*.pol +
interpolationMethod=constant instead. The polygon dataFileType
remains supported for quantities such as initialvertical* (e.g.
initialverticalsalinityprofile) that use polygon files for a different
purpose and have no new alternative yet.
The data file is resolved to its concrete file model only on the dataFile
path (dataValue absent). This prevents an invalid combination
(dataValue together with dataFile) from parsing a file before the
mutual-exclusion check rejects it, so callers get the exclusion error rather
than a file-parse error.

Coerce targetLayer to a TargetLayer member or a positive integer layer number.
Accepts bottom and all (case-insensitive) or a positive integer. The
old external-forcings LAYER values -1 and 0 are represented by
bottom and all respectively and are not accepted as integers here.

SpatialForcingBase
¶
Bases: OperandInterpolationValidators, INIBasedModel, ABC
Shared behaviour for the [Meteo] and [Spatial] external-forcing blocks.
Meteo (legacy) and Spatial (its successor) share the same data-file model
resolution logic and unknown-keyword handling. This abstract base holds that
common behaviour so a single fix applies to both.
The operand / interpolationMethod validators are inherited from
OperandInterpolationValidators (common to all four spatial-field blocks). Spatial
additionally inherits LocationTypeDataFileTypeValidators for the locationType /
dataFileType validators it shares with the inifield blocks; Meteo does not,
as it has neither field.
Field declarations remain on the concrete subclasses: their keyword names
differ (forcing* versus data*) and their serialization order must be
preserved, so only behaviour (not fields) is hoisted here.

Comments
¶
Bases: Comments
Comments shared by the [Meteo] and [Spatial] block fields.
Only the descriptions that are identical in both blocks live here. The
file-specific ones (forcingFile/dataFile, extrapolationSearchRadius)
stay on the subclasses because their wording differs.

TargetLayer
¶
Bases: StrEnum
Valid non-numeric values for the targetLayer attribute of a [Spatial] block.
Corresponds to the LAYER value in the old external forcings file: bottom
(old -1) and all (old 0). A positive integer layer number is also
accepted; see Spatial.targetlayer.
