General
As the Delta Shell framework is still under continuous development while additional models and plugins are implemented, some of its components are being re-factored and documentation is quite limited.
The purpose of this tutorial, though, is to provide a hands-on introduction for developers by demonstrating some of Delta Shell's most common plugin interfaces (based on its latest version).
Tutorial outline
After having performed the tutorial you will end up with a simple version of a hydrological model. Although the model calculates some bogus volume output, it affects all kind of basic aspects, such as:
- Importing time series from WaterML2 files
- Creating a simple model structure
- Customizing model properties
- Showing model data on a map
- Showing model data in a custom view
- Creating a Ribbon button
In the end you are able to sequentially:
- create a volume model;
- import WaterML2 and catchment data;
- create up to ten volume cases by one click;
- run all volume models (cases);
- inspect the output results.
A first impression of the results of the tutorial is displayed in the figure below:
