OPUS - UrbanSim

P. Waddell, 2010OPUS Data• Where do the OPUS Data actually reside on the computer?- The default location is under opus/data, but if you chose a different location for it, itwould be the path that is in the environment variable OPUS_DATA_PATH- Under the main data directory are project directories. The installation comes withtwo sample projects (and more may be added soon):• eugene_gridcell• seattle_parcel- These directory names should match the project name in a project xml file- Under each of these directories, in normal use there will be 3 subdirectories:• base_year_data: this contains a year subdirectory and under that, directories for each dataset• runs: this may not exist until a scenario has been run, but then contains a subdirectory for each run• shapefiles: this directory is a special one for creating a modified ESRI shapefile for use in mapping indicators• A reminder: all the files in the dataset directories are actually individual Numpyarrays, but OPUS ‘knows’ how to load them as needed and treat them as tablesThursday, September 16, 2010
