v0.35
Pre-release
apsimNGpy version: v0.35 – April 2025
APSIMNGpy is a Python interface for APSIM Next Generation (.apsimx) models. It enables seamless model inspection, execution, batch simulation, optimization, and diagnostic reporting—directly from Python. Designed for reproducible research and integration with scientific workflows. Please take a look at the new improvements below.
✨ New Features
Model Introspection: inspect_model_inputs() enables inspection of internal parameters (Weather, Clock, Soil, Report, etc.).
Model Actions: Support for get, delete, and check operations on models within simulations via get_or_check_model().
Flexible Model Lookup: Added _eval_model() and find_model() utilities for robust model resolution by name or namespace.
Batch Simulation Support: Functions for handling multiple simulations and reports concurrently.
Model editing: Model editing has been streamlined by introducing a unified method, edit_model, which allows users to specify the model type, name, and target simulation in a single call.
Model inspection: Model inspection has been enhanced with the inspect_model_parameters method, enabling users to retrieve parameter values by specifying the model type, name, and simulation. Additionally, the inspect_model method can be used to explore available model names and their paths within simulations.
Cultivar Modification: Access and manipulation of PMF.Cultivar parameters, including dynamic cultivar switching.
