iwfm.diagnostics.setup_pest_run(reference_dir, output_dir, pst_file=None, run_name='c2vsim_llm', copy_model=True, verbose=False)[source]

Create a clean PEST run folder from a reference run directory.

Copies essential files from reference_dir to output_dir: - Template files (.tpl) - Instruction files (.ins) - Observation data files (.smp) - Run scripts (.sh) - Control input files (.in) - Model directory (if copy_model=True) - Places the new .pst file if provided

Parameters:

  • reference_dir (str) – Path to reference PEST run (e.g., c2vsimcg_pypest_iterate).

  • output_dir (str) – Path for new PEST run folder. Created if it doesn’t exist.

  • pst_file (str, optional) – Path to .pst file to place in the new folder. If None, no .pst is copied (must be generated separately).

  • run_name (str) – Base name for PEST files (used for run script).

  • copy_model (bool) – If True, copy the model/ subdirectory.

  • verbose (bool) – Print progress.

Returns:

{‘output_dir’: str, ‘pst_path’: str or None,

’files_copied’: int, ‘model_copied’: bool}.

Return type:
