windkit.read_cfdres

windkit.read_cfdres(path, crs)

Read .cfdres file into xarray

A .cfdres file is a zipfile that contains a xml file TerrainAnalysisResultsManifest, which contains all metadata of the things that are inside the zipfile. There is a PDF report which reports some basic characteristics of the CFD simulation. All the CFD results are in Surfer .GRD file format, which is readable by nearly all GIS tools (more info about each field is given below in the notes).

Parameters:

• file_path (str or pathlib.Path) – Path to file (on disk or in zipfile)

• crs (int, dict, str or pyproj.crs.CRS) – Value to initialize pyproj.crs.CRS (Default: read from file)

Returns:

Raster object according to WindKit conventions

Return type:

xarray.DataArray
