The purpose of HydroMT-FIAT is of course to build a model that can be run by Delft-FIAT. This is done with the help of the FIATModel model class. This can be seen as the general manager of the model building process. The FIATModel model class manages and connects model components. A model component focuses on a single specific data entry needed by Delft-FIAT, e.g. one component for exposure vector data, one for vulnerability data etc. As the FIATModel model class connects the components with each other, data build in e.g. the vulnerability component can be accessed and used by the exposure vector component.

A quick overview of all the components is presented on the following page:

• Model components

All of these components need (raw) input data when trying to set up data for Delft-FIAT. Most common is defining the data in a HydroMT data catalog and use the created entry in the data catalog as input.
