Error handling

To report on errors during model initialization and construction, status reports are printed into the console and a detailed report is written to the output directory. In the report are three different types of entries:

• green: information on some automated modelling decision
• yellow: some aspects of the model setup look suspicious
• red: current model setup contains logical inconsistencies and will lead to an infeasible model

Entries of the third kind will throw an error and cause termination. If for example a wrong name is provided for the emission factor parameter in par_emissions.csv, the following reporting file results:

Optional arguments of the model constructor can be set to values between 1 and 3 to adjust the frequency of reporting:

• reportLvl: frequency of writing updates to the console
• errWrtLvl: frequency of writing to the report file
• errCheckLvl: frequency of checking for errors
