The main steps of transient modelling and simulation in TSNet are described in subsequent sections.

Damage Estimation

, see TransientModel in the API documentation.

A transient model can be created directly from an EPANET INP file. The following example build a transient model.

inp_file = 'examples/networks/Tnet1.inp'
tm = tsnet.network.TransientModel(inp_file)

Cost Estimation

Cost Estimation can be performed.

WNTRSimulators code:

\(t_0\) stands for the time when the initial condition will be calculated. More information on the initializer can be found in the API documentation, under Initializer.
