PySTICS

Python library to run STICS, write inputs and load model outputs

Dependencies

STICS : https://www6.paca.inrae.fr/stics/

Python libarires : numpy, pandas

Usage

USM class initialized with the name of the directory containing the usm and the usm name

import PySTICS as sti

corn = sti.usm(dirUSM, usmName) 

To run a simulation, set the directory containing the command line executable JavaSticsCmd.exe

corn.JavaSticsDir = '...'
corn.run()

Setting an irrigation or fertilization calendar

import numpy as np
irrigCal = np.array([ [207,30.0], [226,30.0] ])
corn.writeIrrigCal(irrigCal)

fertiCal = np.array([ [120,80.0], [200,50.0] ])
corn.writeFertiCal(fertiCal)

Loading and plotting outputs

simData = corn.loadData()

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(simData.index, simData['HR(1)'] ) 
plt.show()
