The NANDRAD Data Model Library

Overview

The NANDRAD library stores the data model used exclusively by the NandradSolver. All project data (with the exception of externally referenced climate data files) are stored within the data structure of the NANDRAD library.

The core class, which stores data objects of all other classes is the NANDRAD::Project. This class is a good starting point to learn about the library.

The actual data model (i.e. the physical meaning of the various parameters and how to describe the model) is well documented in the NANDRAD-Model and Implementation Docs.

Serialization of project data (i.e. reading/writing of `nandrad` project files)

The NANDRAD data model is stored in .nandrad project files, which are in XML format.

Without a few exceptions the relevant functions readXML() and writeXML() are not explicitely programmed, but automatically generated by our code generator (see NANDRAD Code Generator docs ). The automatically generated implementation files are stored in the src/ncg subdirectory and are prefixed ncg_.
