If you have a valid configuration file, you can parse a utc_properties class using the method: `instantiate_utc_properties_from_xml`, some example configuration xml files are found in `tests/resources/scenarios`.
## ThermoGIS Scenario Configuration Files
If you have a valid configuration file, you can parse a utc_properties class using the method: `instantiate_utc_properties_from_xml`.
Examples of valid configuration files are found in `tests/resources/test_input/scenarios`.
The vast majority of the parameters in the xml are not used by this python API; but are required by the ThermoGIS java code, unfortunately they are still needed in the xml file to enable parsing.
The minimum parameters which are required in the XML file are:
Perform a ThermoGIS Doublet performance simulation. This will occur across all dimensions of the input_data (ie. input data can have a single value for each required variable, or it can be 1Dimensional or a 2Dimensional grid)
