WaveFileReader

Wrapper for SAM Simulation Core model: cmod_wave_file_reader.cpp

Creating an Instance

There are three methods to create a new instance of a PySAM module. Using default populates the newclass’ attributes with default values specific to a config. Each technology-financialconfiguration corresponds to a SAM GUI configuration. Using new creates an instance with empty attributes. The wrap function allows compatibility with PySSC, for details, refer to PySSC.

WaveFileReader model description

WaveFileReader

PySAM.WaveFileReader.default(config) → WaveFileReader

Use financial config-specific default attributes config options:

• “MEwaveLCOECalculator”

PySAM.WaveFileReader.from_existing(data, optional config) → WaveFileReader

Share underlying data with an existing PySAM class. If config provided, default attributes are loaded otherwise.

PySAM.WaveFileReader.new() → WaveFileReader

PySAM.WaveFileReader.wrap(ssc_data_t) → WaveFileReader

Use existing PySSC data

Warning

Do not call PySSC.data_free on the ssc_data_t provided to wrap

Functions

class PySAM.WaveFileReader.WaveFileReader

This class contains all the variable information for running a simulation. Variables are grouped together in the subclasses as properties. If property assignments are the wrong type, an error is thrown.

assign(dict) → None

Assign attributes from nested dictionary, except for Outputs

nested_dict = { 'Weather Reader': { var: val, ...}, ...}

execute(int verbosity) → None

Execute simulation with verbosity level 0 (default) or 1

export() → dict

Export attributes into nested dictionary

value(name, optional value) → Union[None, float, dict, sequence, str]

Get or set by name a value in any of the variable groups.

WeatherReader Group

class PySAM.WaveFileReader.WaveFileReader.WeatherReader

assign() → None

Assign attributes from dictionary

WeatherReader_vals = { var: val, ...}

export() → dict

Export attributes into dictionary

use_specific_wf_wave

user specified file [0/1]

Constraints: INTEGER,MIN=0,MAX=1

Required: If not provided, assumed to be 0

Changes to this variable may require updating the values of the following:

• wave_resource_filename

Type:float

wave_resource_filename

Constraints: LOCAL_FILE

Required: True

This variable may need to be updated if the values of the following have changed:

• use_specific_wf_wave

Type:str

Outputs Group

class PySAM.WaveFileReader.WaveFileReader.Outputs
