Besides this new option, more and more simulation parameters can now be set in python. ++ We heavily worked on the dense flow avalanche module com1DFA, bringing +functionality from its native code over to python functions. Now there is +the option to do parameter variations on friction parameters and release thickness automatically. +Besides this new option, more and more simulation parameters can now be set in python. + ++ Regarding the necessary executable for the com1DFA (dense flow) module: we + discovered some discrepancy which we currently work on to resolve. The + differences to our reference results are minuscule, but we would like to + understand the source of it. Once this is resolved, we will release the + executable as a first step to bringing it fully open source. + ++ We created a new results folder structure for com1DFA, now simulation files + can be addressed according to their name and characteristics such as + simulation type, name of release area and many more via a dictionary. + ++ The full documentation for com1DFA (dense flow) took a big step forward, you + can see it here + [docs.avaframe.org](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/appendixCom1DFA.html). + Please be aware, this is currently not reviewed yet and still heavily being + worked on. + ++ The AlphaBeta and AIMEC modules also received improved documentation, but + again, not completely done yet. + ++ The AIMEC computation and plotting routines are now a lot cleaner and easier + to read. + ++ The plotting routines are developed/improved with styling of the plots and +new colormaps. To use a modern visualisation, we are working in the HCL color +space wherever possible.

With this experienced +users will be able to run avalanche simulations. This will also include +our dense flow executable mentioned above. Towards the end of the year +we will concentrate on testing, improving our code-coverage and documentation. +The development of the interface to QGis, i.e. triggering simulations right out +of QGis, will also start around this time. + +Excited to see the first simulation results, + +Felix -My this month in avaframe would be: -*Working on the comparison tool AIMEC: --Main routine Ana3AIMEC clead up and tested --Documentation up to date --Some further development on the ploting routine on its way -*Creating a colormap siuted for avalanche data visualisation: --Discrete cmap for end users with predefined levels --continuous cmap for developers -*Writting theory doc for com1DFA diff --git a/public/index.html b/public/index.html index 0e3c343..3dabe82 100644 --- a/public/index.html +++ b/public/index.html @@ -99,6 +99,10 @@
