Digiplante and DGP Suite

P.H. Cournède has developed the Digiplant software since 2002, with the help of P. Labatut, A. Mathieu, V. Letort. It is dedicated to the simulation of the GreenLab model and its parametric identification on real experimental data. Compared to GSL, which is mainly devoted to teaching activities, Digiplant is used in the partner institutions for research: CAU, INRA Montpellier, INRA Grignon, ITB, Univ. of Wageningen, China Academy of Forestry, CIRAD, IRD.

With the work of the two INRIA engineers, B. Bayol and T. Guyard, new software products based on the simulation module of Digiplante were developed: DGP Simulator , with a new editor insuring a better compatibility between the different software versions (cf. exxEditor ), and a new visualization module DGP Builder . Moreover, a simplified user-friendly version was also developed DGP Creator allowing simulations of predefined plants, at different ages and in different environmental conditions.
