run Reference Home

Runs a simulation.


run[sys, {t, tstart, tend}, options]
run[sys, {tstart, tend}, options]
run[sys, options]

sys is the output of interpret.

vars is a list of variables in sim. If omitted all variables will be plotted. vars can only be omitted if the time span is also omitted.

t is the name of the time variable (default is Global`t).

tstart and tend give the timespan of the simulation.

The return value is a list of InterpolatingFunctions's.

Options include:

"IC"→{} - Gives a list of initial conditions. Variables for which initial conditions are omitted are given default initial conditions of zero at tstart. Each initial condition may be specified as either variable[tzero]==value or variable→value. Any combination of these two forms may be used.
initialConditions→{} - deprecated version of "IC".
"plot"→False - If True plots the results of the variables listed in "plotVariables" and/or "gridPlotVariables". See runPlot or gridPlot. Plotting options can not be sent to Plot via run; this must be done by invoking runPlot or gridPlot after run.
"plotVariables"→{} - gives a list of variables to be plotted on a single plot. See runPlot.
"gridPlotVariables"→{} - gives a list of variables to be plotted in a grid, one variable per plot. See gridPlot.
"Parameters"→{} - list of rules defining parameter values. Unassigned parameters will be set equal to 1.
rates→{} - deprecated version of "Parameters".
"TimeSpan"→100 - duration of run in units of the time variable (t).
timeSpan→{} - deprecated version of "TimeSpan".
timeVariable→Global`t
"BoundaryConditions"→{v1[t]→f1[t], v2[t]→f2[t],..} - replace each reference to a species v1 with an explicit formula that depends on time, given by f1[t], etc. Any references to the variables v1,v2,... in the list of reactions is treated as a frozen variable and is not used to produce and ode term.

Any options for NDSolve may also be used.

Implementation Notes

run is a wrapper for NDSolve.
