\arguments{
\item{FUN_MOD}{[function] hydrological model function (e.g. \code{RunModel_GR4J}, \code{RunModel_CemaNeigeGR4J})}

\item{DatesR}{[POSIXt] vector of dates required to create the GR model and CemaNeige module inputs}

\item{Precip}{[numeric] time series of total precipitation (catchment average) [mm], required to create the GR model and CemaNeige module inputs}

\item{PotEvap}{[numeric] time series of potential evapotranspiration (catchment average) [mm], required to create the GR model inputs}

\item{TempMean}{(optional) [numeric] time series of mean air temperature [°C], required to create the CemaNeige module inputs}

\item{TempMin}{(optional) [numeric] time series of min air temperature [°C], possibly used to create the CemaNeige module inputs}

\item{ZInputs}{(optional) [numeric] real giving the mean elevation of the Precip and Temp series (before extrapolation) [m], possibly used to create the CemaNeige module inputs}

\item{HypsoData}{(optional) [numeric] vector of 101 reals: min, q01 to q99 and max of catchment elevation distribution [m], if not defined a single elevation is used for CemaNeige}

\item{NLayers}{(optional) [numeric] integer giving the number of elevation layers requested [-], required to create CemaNeige module inputs, default=5}

\description{
Creation of the InputsModel object required to the RunModel functions.
}
\details{
Users wanting to use FUN_MOD functions that are not included in 
the package must create their own InputsModel object accordingly.

## loading catchment data
data(L0123001)

## preparation of the InputsModel object
InputsModel <- CreateInputsModel(FUN_MOD = RunModel_GR4J, DatesR = BasinObs$DatesR, 
                                 Precip = BasinObs$P, PotEvap = BasinObs$E)

## run period selection
Ind_Run <- seq(which(format(BasinObs$DatesR, format = "\%d/\%m/\%Y \%H:\%M")=="01/01/1990 00:00"), 
               which(format(BasinObs$DatesR, format = "\%d/\%m/\%Y \%H:\%M")=="31/12/1999 00:00"))

## preparation of the RunOptions object
RunOptions <- CreateRunOptions(FUN_MOD = RunModel_GR4J,
                               InputsModel = InputsModel, IndPeriod_Run = Ind_Run)

## simulation
Param <- c(734.568, -0.840, 109.809, 1.971)
OutputsModel <- RunModel(InputsModel = InputsModel, RunOptions = RunOptions, Param = Param, 
                         FUN_MOD = RunModel_GR4J)

## results preview
plot_OutputsModel(OutputsModel = OutputsModel, Qobs = BasinObs$Qmm[Ind_Run])

## efficiency criterion: Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency
InputsCrit  <- CreateInputsCrit(FUN_CRIT = ErrorCrit_NSE, InputsModel = InputsModel, 
                                RunOptions = RunOptions, Qobs = BasinObs$Qmm[Ind_Run])
