ana5Utils.DFAPathGeneration.extendDFAPath

extendDFAPath(avalancheDir, cfg, dem, simName, avaProfile)

extend the DFA path at the top (release) and bottom (runout area) cfg[‘pathFromPart’] decides if the path is extended from particles dict or fields Call extendDFAPathKernel for extending the path avaProfile with x, y, z, s information

Parameters

• avalancheDir (str or pathlib path) – path to avalanche directory

• cfg (configParser) – configuration object with: pathFromPart: boolean

  read information from particles file or fields file

  extTopOption: int how to extend towards the top?

  0 for highest point method a for largest runout method

  nCellsResample: int

  resampling length is given by nCellsResample*demCellSize

  nCellsMinExtend: int

  when extending towards the bottom, take points at more than nCellsMinExtend*demCellSize from last point to get the direction

  nCellsMaxExtend: int

  when extending towards the bottom, take points at less than nCellsMaxExtend*demCellSize from last point to get the direction

  factBottomExt: float

  extend the profile from factBottomExt*sMax

• dem (dict) – dem dict

• simName (str) – simHash or name

• avaProfile (dict) – profile to be extended

Returns

avaProfileExt – extended profile at top and bottom (x, y, z).

Return type

dict
