Models
Functions
Functions or Models are basic building blocks of crop models in APSIM Next Generations.
Plant Modelling Framework
The Plant Modelling Framework (PMF) offers a modular library of plant organ and process submodels. This design allows for dynamic assembly of complex crop models, such as wheat, by integrating components like photosynthesis and leaf development without additional coding (Brown et al. 2014).
Graph
The Graph module provides a framework to visualise reports in APSIM Next Generation. It allows users to create and manage graphs, which can be used to display various data types, including time series and statistical analyses.
Management
The Management module contains models for farm managements. These models allow users to simulate various agricultural practices and their effects on crop performance.
Traits
Some Traits are described in multiple components, which are summaried in the Traits section.
Other Models
- Clock: The Clock model is responsible for managing the simulation time and triggering events at specific times.
- Events: Events are used by APSIM NG to trigger actions or notify other models about changes in the simulation state. Models can respond to these events in predefined ways.
- Connections: Connections define how models link and interact with each other within APSIM NG, enabling data flow and coordination between different components.
