Simple way to run a few forward models from realizations after IES?

[Hydrok92]

Hey there,

Probably something I missed in the tutorials, but after running IES with pyemu, is there a quick and simple way (maybe using a helper or utility function) to quickly run a few specific forward simulations using parameters for a given set of specified realizations?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Hydrok92

There are two ways to do this. One is to run PESTPP-IES with NOPTMAX=-2 and specify a single realization to run through the ies_run_realname arg.

The more painful (but more flexible) ways to do it are either create a CSV file with a subset of realizations and supply it in the ies_parameter_ensemble arg and then run with NOPTMAX=-1 (which sweeps over the ensemble Monte Carlo style).

Or, in pyemu, you can read in the PST file, change PARVAL1 on a case-by-case basis, set NOPTMAX=0, write out a new PST file, and run.

One of those options should work for you.

Cheers,
Mike
