pyissm.model.classes.massfluxatgate

class pyissm.model.classes.massfluxatgate(other=None, **kwargs)

Bases: manage_state

Mass flux at gate parameters class for ISSM.

This class encapsulates parameters for calculating mass flux through specified gates (profiles) in the ISSM (Ice Sheet System Model) framework. It allows users to define linear profiles or gates across which to calculate ice mass flux, providing a way to monitor ice discharge through specific cross-sections.

Parameters:

other (any, optional) – Any other class object that contains common fields to inherit from. If values in other differ from default values, they will override the default values.

name

Identifier for this massfluxatgate response.

Type:

str, default=’’

definitionstring

String that identifies this output definition uniquely, from Outputdefinition[1-100].

Type:

str, default=’’

profilename

Name of file (shapefile or argus file) defining a profile (or gate).

Type:

str, default=’’

segments

Segments defining the gate geometry. Generated internally from the profile file.

Type:

float, default=nan

__init__(self, other=None)

Initializes the massfluxatgate parameters, optionally inheriting from another instance.

__repr__(self)

Returns a detailed string representation of the massfluxatgate parameters.

__str__(self)

Returns a short string identifying the class.

marshall_class(self, fid, prefix, md=None)

Marshall parameters to a binary file

Examples

md.massfluxatgate = pyissm.model.classes.massfluxatgate() md.massfluxatgate.name = ‘terminus_flux’ md.massfluxatgate.profilename = ‘terminus_profile.shp’ md.massfluxatgate.definitionstring = ‘Outputdefinition1’

__init__(other=None, **kwargs)

Initialize the instance with optional field inheritance.

Parameters:

other (object, optional) – Another instance to inherit field values from. If provided, any fields in the current instance that differ from the default values and exist in ‘other’ will be replaced with the values from ‘other’.

Notes

The inheritance process:

  1. Iterates through all attributes of the current instance

  2. Checks if the same attribute exists in the ‘other’ instance

  3. Compares field values using _fields_equal()

  4. If different, replaces the current value with the ‘other’ value

This enables the common ISSM pattern where classes can inherit configurations from existing instances while maintaining their default values for unspecified fields.

Methods

__init__([other])

Initialize the instance with optional field inheritance.

check_consistency(md, solution, analyses)

Check consistency of the [massfluxatgate.massfluxatgate] parameters.

issm_enum_string()

Default ISSM C++ enum string used during marshalling.

marshall_class(fid, prefix[, md])

Marshall [massfluxatgate.massfluxatgate] parameters to a binary file.
check_consistency(md, solution, analyses)

Check consistency of the [massfluxatgate.massfluxatgate] parameters.

Parameters:

  • md (pyissm.model.Model) – The model object to check.

  • solution (str) – The solution name to check.

  • analyses (list of str) – List of analyses to check consistency for.

Returns:

md – The model object with any consistency errors noted.

Return type:

pyissm.model.Model

marshall_class(fid, prefix, md=None)

Marshall [massfluxatgate.massfluxatgate] parameters to a binary file.

Parameters:

  • fid (file object) – The file object to write the binary data to.

  • prefix (str) – Prefix string used for data identification in the binary file.

  • md (ISSM model object, optional.) – ISSM model object needed in some cases.

Return type:

None
