An Excel based interface for the soybean model GLYCIM An excel based interface to create the input files needed for the crop models
The input data are stored in an excel spreadsheet.
A special Excel file contains VBA code to pull data from the spreadsheet and create the folder structure and input files needed to run maizsim. The VBA program generates grid1.bat files in each folder that will create the grid and soil files when run. Only the weather files are not created.
the Models.zip file has the executables
Working examples include data for a soybean simulation from a FACE experiment in Iowa
To run the model, use the root folder set in the excel interface. let's say the root is d:/IllFace and under this are the data folders,IllFACE_01 and IllFACE_02 then the executables would go into the IllFace folder and you would run the model as d:/IllFace > 2dmaizsim ./IllFace_01/IllFace_01.dat
if you use the folder structure in this repository
Y:\ExcelInterface_Glycim you would run the model as: 2dGlycim ./"Example input/IllFace_01/IllFace_01.dat" Your files would be set up this way in the interface: Input excel file: Y:\ExcelInterface\Example input\SoybeanInputs.xlsx Root Path: Y:\ExcelInterface\Example input MaizsimPath Y:\ExcelInterface CreateSoils Y:\ExcelInterface\CreateSoilFIles ExcelInterface Y:\ExcelInterface\ExcelInterface Weather CSV File Folder Y:\ExcelInterface\Example input\
