CON-file

BlueM.Opt | Usage | Development

BlueM.Opt input files: MOD · OPT · OBF · CON

---

This file defines the constraints for the optimization. Each line corresponds to one constraint.

The file must have the same filename as the rest of the dataset's files but have the file extension .CON, and be located in the same directory as the rest of the dataset.

A constraint is evaluated by comparing a simulated value to a threshold value, which may be defined either as a lower or upper bound. If a constraint is violated, the corresponding individual is marked as invalid.

Example for a reservoir in BlueM.Sim with 2 constraints:

Description

Parameter	Description
Name	Arbitrary name of the constraint
ThreshType	Threshold type Wert: Constant threshold value Reihe: Time series of threshold values
File	The simulation result file containing the simulation result which should be checked for threshold violation. Accepted values: WEL
SimResult	The identifier of the simulation result which should be checked for threshold violation.
Lower/Upper	Specifies whether the threshold is a lower or upper bound. Accepted values: Obergrenze: Upper bound Untergrenze: Lower bound
Threshold value (only used when ThreshType is Wert (a constant value))
Type	Specifies how to calculate the value that should be compared to the threshold vaslue from the simulation result. MaxWert: Maximum value of the simulation result MinWert: Minimum value of the simulation result Average: Average value of the simulation result AnfWert: First value of the simulation result EndWert: Last value of the simulation result
Value	The threshold value to check against.
Threshold series (only used when ThreshType is Reihe (a series of values))
Name	Only used for threshold series files in WEL-Format. The identifier of the time series within the threshold series file.
File	The filename of the threshold series file. Must be either in ZRE or WEL-Format Warning: The time step size of the threshold series must be identical to that of the simulation result! (see #218)

The width of the columns can be adjusted if necessary, but the column separators (|) must be preserved!

An asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line causes the line to be ignored.
