CSDMS Workbench: Basic Model Interface (BMI)

Introduction
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. Detailed information about BMI can be found at https://bmi.readthedocs.io.
Classroom organization
In this lab, we explore what BMI is and how to use it through a pair of Jupyter Notebooks. This lab first illustrates an example "Heat" model which simulates the diffusion of temperature on a uniform rectangular plate with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Then, the lab demonstrates how to run the "Heat" model through its BMI.

Lab notes
This lab can be run on either the lab (for educators) or jupyter (for general use) instances of the OpenEarthscape JupyterHub: just click one of the links under the Run online using: heading at the top of this page, then run the notebook in either the "CSDMS" or the "Ivy" kernel.
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.
Requirements
If run locally, this lab requires the source code from the bmi-example-python repository: https://github.com/csdms/bmi-example-python.
