Reference Guide: The Mimi API

defcomp(comp_name::Symbol, ex::Expr)

Define a Mimi component comp_name with the expressions in ex. The following types of expressions are supported:

1. dimension_name = Index() # defines a dimension
2. parameter = Parameter(index = [dimension_name], units = "unit_name", default = default_value) # defines a parameter with optional arguments
3. variable = Variable(index = [dimension_name], units = "unit_name") # defines a variable with optional arguments
4. init(p, v, d) # defines an init function for the component
5. run_timestep(p, v, d, t) # defines a run_timestep function for the component

Parses a @defcomp definition, converting it into a series of function calls that create the corresponding ComponentDef instance. At model build time, the ModelDef (including its ComponentDefs) will be converted to a runnable model.

defsim(expr::Expr)

Define a Mimi SimulationDef with the expressions in expr.

defcomposite(cc_name, ex)

Define a Mimi CompositeComponentDef cc_name with the expressions in ex. Expressions are all shorthand for longer-winded API calls, and include the following:

p = Parameter(...)
v = Variable(varname)
local_name = Component(name)
Component(name)  # equivalent to `name = Component(name)`
connect(...)

Variable names are expressed as the component id (which may be prefixed by a module, e.g., Mimi.adder) followed by a . and the variable name in that component. So the form is either modname.compname.varname or compname.varname, which must be known in the current module.

Unlike leaf components, composite components do not have user-defined init or run_timestep functions; these are defined internally to iterate over constituent components and call the associated method on each.

MarginalModel

A Mimi Model whose results are obtained by subtracting results of one base Model from those of another marginal Model that has a difference of delta.

Model

A user-facing API containing a ModelInstance (mi) and a ModelDef (md). This Model can be created with the optional keyword argument number_type indicating the default type of number used for the ModelDef. If not specified the Model assumes a number_type of Float64.

The optional arguments first and last indicate the times bounding the run period for the given component, which must be within the bounds of the model and if explicitly set are fixed. These default to flexibly changing with the model's :time dimension.

Run model m once.

Base.run(sim_def::SimulationDef{T}, 
        models::Union{Vector{M}, AbstractModel}, 
        samplesize::Int;
        ntimesteps::Int=typemax(Int), 
        trials_output_filename::Union{Nothing, AbstractString}=nothing, 
        results_output_dir::Union{Nothing, AbstractString}=nothing,

        results_in_memory::Bool=true) where {T <: AbstractSimulationData, M <: AbstractModel}

Run the simulation definition sim_def for the models using samplesize samples.

Optionally run the models for ntimesteps, if specified, else to the maximum defined time period. Note that trial data are applied to all the associated models even when running only a portion of them.

If provided, the generated trials and results will be saved in the indicated trials_output_filename and results_output_dir respectively. If results_in_memory is set to false, then results will be cleared from memory and only stored in the results_output_dir.

If pre_trial_func or post_trial_func are defined, the designated functions are called just before or after (respectively) running a trial. The functions must have the signature:

fn(sim_inst::SimulationInstance, trialnum::Int, ntimesteps::Int, tup::Tuple)

where tup is a tuple of scenario arguments representing one element in the cross-product of all scenario value vectors. In situations in which you want the simulation loop to run only some of the models, the remainder of the runs can be handled using a pre_trial_func or post_trial_func.

If provided, scenario_args must be a Vector{Pair}, where each Pair is a symbol and a Vector of arbitrary values that will be meaningful to scenario_func, which must have the signature:

scenario_func(sim_inst::SimulationInstance, tup::Tuple)

By default, the scenario loop encloses the simulation loop, but the scenario loop can be placed inside the simulation loop by specifying scenario_placement=INNER. When INNER is specified, the scenario_func is called after any pre_trial_func but before the model is run.

Returns the type SimulationInstance that contains a copy of the original SimulationDef, along with mutated information about trials, in addition to the model list and results information.

Update all of the parameters in ModelDef md that don't have a value and are not connected to some other component to a value from a dictionary parameters. This method assumes the dictionary keys are Tuples of Symbols (or convertible to Symbols ie. Strings) of (compname, paramname) that match the component-parameter pair of unset parameters in the model. All resulting connected model parameters will be unshared model parameters.

update_leftover_params!(m::Model, parameters::Dict)

Update all of the parameters in Model m that don't have a value and are not connected to some other component to a value from a dictionary parameters. This method assumes the dictionary keys are Tuples of Symbols (or convertible to Symbols ie. Strings) of (compname, paramname) that match the component-parameter pair of unset parameters in the model. All resulting connected model parameters will be unshared model parameters.

variable_dimensions(obj::AbstractCompositeComponentDef, comp_path::ComponentPath, var_name::Symbol)

Return the names of the dimensions of variable var_name exposed in the composite component definition indicated byobj along the component path comp_path. The comp_path is of type Mimi.ComponentPath with the single field being an NTuple of symbols describing the relative (to a composite) or absolute (relative to ModelDef) path through composite nodes to specific composite or leaf node.

variable_dimensions(obj::AbstractCompositeComponentDef, comp::Symbol, var_name::Symbol)

Return the names of the dimensions of variable var_name exposed in the composite component definition indicated by obj for the component comp, which exists in a flat model.

variable_dimensions(obj::AbstractCompositeComponentDef, comp::Symbol, var_name::Symbol)

Return the names of the dimensions of variable var_name exposed in the composite component definition indicated by obj along the component path comp_path. The comp_path is a tuple of symbols describing the relative (to a composite) or absolute (relative to ModelDef) path through composite nodes to specific composite or leaf node.

variable_dimensions(obj::AbstractComponentDef, name::Symbol)

Return the names of the dimensions of variable name exposed in the component definition indicated by obj.

variable_names(md::AbstractCompositeComponentDef, comp_name::Symbol)

Return a list of all variable names for a given component comp_name in a model def md.

variable_names(comp_def::AbstractComponentDef)

Return a list of all variable names for a given component comp_def.
