Thanks for the reply. This is a bit of a weird error.

I looked at the PATH variable on my computer. No ‘.’ (dots) in it.

I opened the Python interpreter in the omniscape Conda environment (C:\Users\davidanderson\SyncroSim\Conda\envs\omniscape\omniscapeEnvironment). Importing rasterio and pysyncrosim worked with no problem.

I was able to get the example to run using option 1. I pointed the Python to the one in the omniscape environment. One addition I did have to make was setting up the Julia configuration to point to that executable.

This indicates to me that the ‘.’ is getting added to the path before the call to pysyncrosim.

Glad to help.

[davidanderson]

Great! A few days early too.
I’m going to install tomorrow to and experiment.

Thanks Katie for that update. The append would be cleaner than how I’m currently doing it.

I was doing some more work and noticed a odd behavior. When I rerun the command

TransitionType = pd.read_excel(os.path.join(path_to_stsim_files,’TransitionType_Base.xlsx’),sheet_name=’Transition Type’)
TransitionType.rename(columns={‘Map Legend’:’Legend’},inplace=True)
r3_project.save_datasheet(‘stsim_TransitionType’,TransitionType)

Then check the transitions datasheet using r3_project.datasheets(‘stsim_TransitionType’)
the returned dataframe is the size of the expanded on (477) rows, not the 114 rows that are in the spreadsheet ’TransitionType_Base.xlsx’.
Resetting the transitions datasheet back to a smaller set of values is not working the way I think it would work.

I did do another test of adding a single unique transition using the same technique. That did add another row.

Poking a bit further, there does not seem to be a way to empty out the transitions datasheet. I tried this:
r3_project.save_datasheet(name=’stsim_TransitionType’,data=r3_project.datasheets(‘stsim_TransitionType’,empty=True))
which returns the following error:
RuntimeError: No data was found in the specified CSV file.

Am I missing something here?

[davidanderson]

Are there any examples of how this might work with pysyncrosim? Without having done it I have good idea how it should work but without trying it I’m a bit fuzzy on the details.

[davidanderson]

It now appears that the export from the SyncroSim interface (version 2.2.16, stsim 3.2.19) into State Classes Excel files is dropping the extra columns, Proportion of Landscape, Proportion of Ecological Response Unit (primary stratum).
Is there an option somewhere to flag the export function to include/exclude the proportion columns?

[davidanderson]

Thanks. I will try that out.

I am finally getting back around to doing some automated model runs. I had been doing RSyncrosim through Python prior to this but I thought I would try the console method as suggested above. I have run into a problem though in that I can’t figure out how to access the datasheets to dynamically update the values. I have looked over the documentation trying to find the console equivalent of saveDatasheet. It has eluded me. I do recall that the Python package originally mentioned was really a bunch of wrappers around console code. I tried to access the package to see some examples but it seems to have been deleted.
The commands setprop or update appear to be logical choices. The examples shown however don’t do anything like updating any of the datasheets.
Any help or examples on how to use the console mode in a method similar to RSyncrosim would be appreciated. Thanks.

[davidanderson]

User error. Thanks.

[davidanderson]

Note noted. My question was more a case of user lack of knowledge. I couldn’t figure out why STSim was not reading in the updated data I created. Now I know that the program reads in the data once when specified and stores it internally as opposed to a system where there is a single source for the input data.

I do have a command line request. It would be nice if the command line (rsyncrosim) would create result exports that match those created by the user interface. Currently the user interface renames columns and adds some fields. Neither of which is done in the data sheet export in rsyncrosim. I found this reference in the code https://github.com/ApexRMS/stsim/blob/master/src/Console/STSimConsole.CreateReport.cs that seems to indicate that there is an ability to create those reports in the console but I have been unable to figure out where from the console documentation.

I ask this because then post processing code could be written that is source creation independent. Currently I have code blocks that deal with data brought in via rsyncrosim and data brought in via Excel exports from the user interface.

[davidanderson]

Got it.

[davidanderson]

Directly in the file system. I overwrote the old file as part of the GIS processing. My mistaken assumption was that the initial conditions are for each run are read in from the file that was used when creating the initial condition portion of a scenario. I now know that is not the case. I am sure it was explained in the training and I have just forgotten. Thanks for being patient as I work through understanding the interface and how to run the software in a iterative development mode.

[davidanderson]

Thanks. Don’t need that feature right now but I can see the utility.

[davidanderson]

Thanks for the detailed reply. I followed your instructions which fixed the problem. I am going to have to think a bit about the transitions – > transition group -> transition simulation group membership to get what I want.

[davidanderson]

Leonardo,
Here is the warning message:
[Warning] ST-Sim: At least one Transition Target has been defined with a non-primary Transition Group.
I am running version 2.0.44 of SyncroSim and version 3.1.44 of stsim.

I do have one transition simulation group defined but it is not one that I am using for transition targets.

I have been unable to find where one sets primary vs non primary groups. I found another thread where someone was asking the same question. It seems that the documentation link has been moved somewhere else. The answer is probably super obvious but I am just not seeing it.
