Expert Configuration

For advanced users who want project-specific configuration that overrides both the default module configuration and any local_ configuration files, AvaFrame supports an expert configuration directory.

Place your module configuration files in:

{avalancheDir}/Inputs/CFGs/{moduleName}Cfg.ini

For example, to override com1DFA settings for a specific avalanche project:

myAvalanche/Inputs/CFGs/com1DFACfg.ini

When this file exists and the avalancheDir is passed to in3Utils.cfgUtils.getModuleConfig(), the expert config takes priority over any local_com1DFACfg.ini file. Values not specified in the expert config are filled from the default module configuration.

Note

The local_ file behavior is only active when no expert config exists for the module. If an expert config exists, the local_ file is completely ignored for that module.

Example

To use custom friction parameters for a specific project:

Create the CFGs directory in your avalanche project:
```
mkdir -p myAvalanche/Inputs/CFGs
```
Create the module configuration file (e.g., com1DFACfg.ini):
```
[GENERAL]
frictModel = samosATMedium
```
Run your simulation - the expert config will automatically be used when avalancheDir is provided.
