EFDCPlus Project Folder Structure
From release of EFDC_Explorer7 there has been a pre-set folder structure for model outputs and EE generated files. All input files needed by EFDC and EE are stored in the main project folder. This makes it easier to identify which files are needed by EFDC/EE and which ones are not. To send a colleague/regulator the required files the user only needs to copy all the files (not subdirectories) in the project folder. All other EFDCPlus and EE generated files are placed in a defined sub-folder. EFDC model output is contained in the #output folder with other folders being used to organize and manage EE user created files. These include:
#analysis | General EE plot files and EE exported data |
#animations | EE generated .AVI animations |
#calib_plots | Calibration plots |
#calib_stats | Calibration statistic files |
#calib_export | EE exported files from the calibration plotting utility |
#output | EFDC output files |
When the user requests some plot or data extraction EE will still bring up a file browsing dialog allowing the user to write the files to any location, however, the default locations will be those identified above.
