Short description  *

The Basic Model Interface (BMI) is a set of standard control and query functions that, when added to a model code, make that model both easier to learn and easier to couple with other software elements. This lab illustrates how to run a model through its BMI.

Introduction  *

In this lab we explore what BMI is and how to use it through a pair of Jupyter Notebooks. The first notebook presents a simple "Heat" model which simulates the diffusion of temperature on a uniform rectangular plate with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The second notebook demonstrates how to run the "Heat" model through its BMI.

Instructions  *

<p>This lab can be run on the <em>lab</em> (for educators) and <em>jupyter</em> (for general use) instances of the OpenEarthscape JupyterHub: just click one of the links under the <strong>Run online using</strong> heading at the top of this page, then run the notebook in the "CSDMS" kernel.</p> <p>If you don't already have a JupyterHub account, follow the instructions to sign up at https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/JupyterHub. If you're an educator, you can get JupyterHub accounts for students--please contact us through the CSDMS Help Desk: https://csdms.github.io/help-desk.</p>
