The AquaFishDEB model is designed to predict growth, feed consumption and waste production for fish. The water treatment model predicts the water quality and water treatment effects in research infrastructures such as tanks. This tutorial combine the two models for advanced co-simulation.
How to simulate
For this tutorial we will be using the Kopl tool from Open Simulation Platform. If you do not have it installed you can download it from here.
We will also be using the Growth-watertreatment module. If you do not have it installed, download the zip file and extract it.
Start the kopl tool, by double clicking on the Kopl executble.
Choose a location for the workspace (working folder) or press Ok to use the default workspace.
Right click in the navigator pane and click new, click CoSimulation task and give it a name ie. Coupled_simulations
Right click the new task and select new->Configuration
Give it a descriptive name ie. VURHtank_Rainbowtrout
For the file, click the browse icon to the far right. Select a tutorial xml that most closely relates to the experiment you want to simulate. The tutorials are located in the configuration folder under the growth folder you downloaded with the Growth module
For our example we will select the Coupled_VURHtank_rainbowtrout.xml
Click Finish
Double click on the configuration (For our example VURHtank_Rainbowtrout)
Start time is set to 0 and step size to 1.0 which is correct, set duration to 720 (24 hours * 30 days)
Double click on Fish or Tank under Setup, you will get an overview of the parameters for the different models.
This example is prefilled for 100 rainbow trouts in the growth model, feeding into a preconfigured VURH tank.
Modify variables to suit your experiment.
To simulate, right click the configuration (VURHtank_Rainbowtrout) and select Simulation.
A results folder is now available under the configuration.
