How TimeLike Manages Simulation Results

Top  Previous  Next

When TimeLike Simulation executes, the entire setup, including any input files used by a simulation are copied into directory "results/RunsetName/execution_#".

 

For example, let's say we have our simulation files in "c:\timelike_applications\OneDMotion".

SimulationDirectoryStructure

 

This directory contains one model: OneDMotion,  two runsets for this model: OneDMotionRuntest and OneDMotionRuntest1, and three subdirectories: icons, inputs and results.

 

icons

Contains icons used in the model

 

inputs

Contains data files used by a simulation.

 

results

Contains a separate directory for each runset. A directory for a runset contains separate subdirectory for each execution of the runset.  Each run in the runset generates a separate HDF5 file that contains the results.

When simulation is executed, a new execution_... subdirectory is created and the files containing model, runset and the entire contents of inputs directory is copied into execution_...  subdirectory and simulation is executed there.  This approach allows to keep a complete history of all executions of a runset.
