Building a SFINCS Model

When making a SFINCS model, you need to create multiple input files. With the HydroMT SFINCS plugin, you can easily make these SFINCS model schematizations. This plugin helps you preparing or updating several model components of a SFINCS model such as topography/bathymetry, roughness, infiltration maps and dynamic waterlevel and discharge forcing.

Each SFINCS model is represented by an instance of the SfincsModel, which contains several components (see Model Components). These components can be created or updated using specific methods (see Model Methods), which is demenstrated in the Building a SFINCS model section.
