Load a simulation and apply a set of parameters.

Helper method that combines a set of common steps performed before running a simulation. This method applies individual parameters data set and additional user-defined parameters to the simulation and runs the simulation to its steady-state and applies the steady-state as new initial conditions.

Usage

initializeSimulation(
  simulation,
  individualCharacteristics = NULL,
  additionalParams = NULL,
  stopIfParameterNotFound = TRUE
)

Arguments

simulation

Simulation loaded from a PKML file

individualCharacteristics

Optional IndividualCharacteristics describing an individual.

additionalParams

Optional named list with lists 'paths', 'values', and 'units'.

stopIfParameterNotFound

Logical. If TRUE (default), an error is thrown if any of the additionalParams does not exist. If FALSE, non-existent parameters are ignored.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
simulation <- loadSimulation(filePath = modelPath)
humanIndividualCharacteristics <- createIndividualCharacteristics(
  species = Species$Human, population = HumanPopulation$European_ICRP_2002,
  gender = Gender$Male, weight = 70
)
userParams <- readParametersFromXLS(parameterXLSPath)
initializeSimulation(simulation, humanIndividualCharacteristics, userParams)
simulationResults <- runSimulations(simulation = simulation)
} # }
