Simulation

During the simulation of a model, a Simulation object is constructed. The field names of the Simulation object is

model::Model: The model for which the Simulation is constructed.
path::String: The path of the directory into which all simulation-related files (log, data files etc.) are saved.
logger::AbstractLogger: The logger of the simulation constructed to log each stage of the Simulation .
state::Symbol: The state of the Simulation. The state may be :running if the simulation is running, :halted is the simulation is terminated without being completed, :done if it is terminated.
retcode::Symbol: The return code of the simulation. The retcode may be :success if the simulation is completed without errors, :failed if the an error occurs during the simulation.

Full API

Causal.Simulation — Type

Simulation(model; simdir=tempdir(), simname=string(uuid4()), simprefix="Simulation-", logger=SimpleLogger())

Constructs a Simulation object for the simulation of model. The Simulation object is used to monitor the state of the simulation of the model. simdir is the path of the directory into which the simulation files(log, data files etc.) are recorded. simname is the name of the Simulation and simprefix is the prefix of the name of the Simulation. logger is used to log the simulation steps of the model.

Causal.SimulationError — Type

SimulationError(msg::String)

Thrown when an error occurs during a simulation.

source

Causal.closelogger — Function

closelogger(logger=global_logger())

Closes the logger the file of the loggger. See also: setlogger

source

Causal.report — Method

report(simulation::Simulation)

Records the state of the simulation by writing all its fields into a data file. All the fields of the simulation is written into file. When the file is read back, the simulation object is constructed back. The data file is written under the path of the simulation.

source

Causal.setlogger — Method

setlogger(path, name; setglobal::Bool=true)

Returns a logger. path is the path and name is the name of the file of the logger. If setglobal is true, the returned logger is a global logger.

Example

julia> logger = setlogger(tempdir(), "mylogger", setglobal=true)
Base.CoreLogging.SimpleLogger(IOStream(<file /tmp/mylogger>), Info, Dict{Any,Int64}())
