ogs6py is a python-API for the OpenGeoSys finite element sofware. Its main functionalities include creating and altering OGS6 input files as well as executing OGS. The package allows to streamline OGS-workflows with python or Julia entirely in jupyter or pluto notebooks as demonstrated in the following video:
To alter and execute OGS input, e.g., for looping over parameter ranges, two approaches exist:
1. creating a new input file using python method calls
2. altering existing input files
ogs6py can be easily installed from PyPI
# pip install [--user] ogs6pyor the latest version from github:
# pip install [--user] https://github.com/joergbuchwald/ogs6py/archive/refs/heads/master.zipYou can find the documentation under https://joergbuchwald.github.io/ogs6py-doc
The following example consists of a simple mechanics problem. The source file can be found in the examples directory The names of the method calls are based on the corresponing XML tags.

model.write_input()
model.run_model(logfile="out.log")model.runModel(path="~/github/ogs/build_mkl/bin")An example using the MPL can be find in example_THM.py.
E.g., to iterate over three Young's moduli one can use the replace parameter method:
Es = [1,2,3]
filename = "simple_mechanics.prj"
for E in Es:
model = OGS(INPUT_FILE=filename, PROJECT_FILE=filename, MKL=True)
model.replace_parameter(name="E", value=E)
model.replace_text("out_E="+str(E), xpath="./time_loop/output/prefix")
model.write_input()
model.run_model(path="~/github/ogs/build_mkl/bin")The MKL=True option executes source /opt/intel/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64 before the ogs call.
Instead of the replace_parameter method, the more general replace_text method can also be used to replace the young modulus in this example:
model.replace_text(E, xpath="./parameters/parameter[name='E']/value")The Young's modulus in this file can also be accessed through 0'th occurrence of the place addressed by the xpath ./parameters/parameter/value
model.replace_text(E, xpath="./parameters/parameter/value", occurrence=0)For MPL based processes, there exist specific functions to set phase and medium properties: e.g.,
model.replace_phase_property(mediumid=0, phase="Solid", name="thermal_expansivity", value="42")for a phse property and
model.replace_medium_property(mediumid=0, name="porosity", value="0.24")for a property that lives on the medium level.
To parse the OGS output that is piped into a file do
df = model.parse_out("examples/out_thm.log")which returns a pandas dataframe.
