IPhaseWithSetableCompletionDate
The IPhaseWithSetableCompletionDate interface extends phenological phases by allowing external specification of a fixed completion date. This enables users to override the phase’s normal progression logic and force completion on a specific calendar date.
Overview
The IPhaseWithSetableCompletionDate interface provides a mechanism for externally controlling when a phenological phase completes, bypassing the phase’s normal environmental or developmental progression logic.
The interface is intentionally minimal, adding only a single property to enable this date-based override functionality. Phases implementing this interface maintain their normal progression logic but check the DateToProgress property first—if set, the date override takes precedence over environmental calculations.
Model Variables
This section lists the key variables that describe or control the behaviour of this component. Some variables can be adjusted by the user to modify how the model behaves (configurable), while others are calculated internally and can be viewed as model outputs (reportable). For a general explanation of variable types and how they are used within the APSIM Next Generation framework, see the Model Variables Overview.
Configurable and Reportable Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
DateToProgress |
string | Calendar date on which the phase should complete, formatted as “d-MMM” (e.g., “15-Oct”, “1-Apr”). When set, this overrides the phase’s normal progression logic. When empty or null, the phase progresses normally based on environmental drivers. |
Read-Only Reportable Properties
No read-only properties are available for this interface.
