Tutorial: Run simulation error

[eikene...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to go through the tutorial and finding it hard to run the simulation after having created the parameters file. I have tried using both a xml file (called simulation_test.xml) and a txt file (called titzi.txt) without any luck as one can see below. Im new to both itzi and scripting in general. Does anyone know what the error might be? 

GRASS 7.6.0 (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > itzi run /home/ubuntu/grassdata/nc_spm_08_grass7/simulation_test.xml

Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the content of the parameters file I wrote manually:

[time]

duration = 02:00:00

record_step = 00:05:00

[input]

dem = elev_lid792_5m@PERMANENT

friction = n@PERMANENT

rain = rain@PERMANENT

bctype = bctype@PERMANENT

bcval = bcvalue@PERMANENT

[output]

prefix = nc_itzi_tutorial

values = h, wse, v, vdir, boundaries

[statistics]

stats_file = nc_itzi_tutorial.csv 

Best regards,

Sindre

Hi Sindre,

By the look of the error it seems that you wrote the parameter file as a formatted document (RTF?). You should use a plain text file.

Do NOT use a word processor.

DO use a text editor like notepad, gedit, VScode etc.

I hope this help.

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

That was it, thank you! I will probably be back with more questions soon since I am planning to do an analysis of flood in Bergen, Norway in my masters thesis:)
