Abstract
In software engineering, an interface is a group of functions with prescribed names, argument types, and return types. When a developer implements an interface for a piece of software, they fill out the details for each function while keeping the signatures intact. CSDMS has developed the Basic Model Interface (BMI) for facilitating the conversion of a model written in C, C++, Fortran, Python, or Java into a reusable, plug-and-play component. By design, BMI functions are simple. However, when trying to implement them, the devil is often in the details.

In this hands-on clinic, we'll take a simple model of the two-dimensional heat equation, written in Python, and together we'll write the BMI functions to wrap it, preparing it for transformation into a component. As we develop, we’ll explore how to use the wrapped model with a Jupyter Notebook.

To get the most out of this clinic, come prepared to code! We'll have a lot to write in the time allotted for the clinic. We recommend that clinic attendees have a laptop with the Anaconda Python distribution installed. We also request that you review the BMI description (http://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/BMI_Description), and the BMI documentation (https://bmi-spec.readthedocs.io)

before the start of the clinic.
