Hi,

I am working with QSWAT+, I have implemented my model. It seems complicated then Arcswat cause it gives channel wise result and database is critical to understand. Therefore, I am losing my focus not for the model but also for the database. I think developer has noticed this and will get full version!!

Now my question is, If I want to use the best parameter values after calibration using R-SWAT or SWAT+ Toolbox, how I can update that best fitted parameters to the QSWAT+?


Thanks

Did you get any response to this?. I have the same question on fitting the best parameter from the RSWAT run to the SWAT Plus.

First you should edit file.cio file and save it with notepad and write "calibration.cal" at "chg" row after the "cal_parms.cal" like this:

and then create a "calibration.cal" file with your parameter set and their values like this:

then run the model with executable file (.exe).

But if you run it using the editor, it recreates file.cio without calibration.cal and the model runs without your parameter values.
If you want run the model using with editor after creating calibration.cal file, go to the run swat+ on the left menu, extent the input files option and click to the "advanced" option, do the same settings at file.cio file so the editor can't change that part of the file.cio. Save&close at the end then run it with the editor.
