Description of input files

Site depending data files

Stand initialization data file

recommended extension: .ini

Contains data for a start inventory. In each data line there are values for one cohort.
An arbitrary amount of cohorts can be declared.
The data file is being created by an initialization routine.

It is possible to write initializations for multiple sites in one file, whereas the selection of the current site happens through the stand identifier (stand_id) in the control file.
