How to configure Task Manager to run only one module/feature (e.g. ration formulation for an animal group)?

[maximeleduc]

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to use the Task Manager to run only one concept module or feature instead of the full farm simulation.
For example:
I would like to run the animal nutrition/ration formulation for a given animal group (defined in my animals.json)
without running the manure, feed storage, or crop/soil modules
ideally constrained to a single timestep (e.g., one day)

Hi Maxime! Currently you can run the Animal Module and Soil and Crop module in isolation but you cannot run specific routines or submodules within the modules.

• To run the Animal Module alone, simply do not provide any field inputs in the scenario metadata and specify daily emptying of any manure storage method (an explicit "daily spread" method is upcoming for the manure module so this will be even more straight forward).
• To run a scenario with only the Soil and Crop module alone, you can set "simulate_animals" : false in the config input json. There is an example of this in the config directory called no_animal_config.json.
  I hope that helps!
