Simple Live Visualization

It is possible to visualise your own simulation. To get this visualisation it is necessary to make a few adjustments in the "config.json". The following describes how exactly the installation and execution works.

Installation

The visualization tool can be found here. Please clone or download the folder.

Open your terminal and navigate into this directory.

Install python3.8 (getting from Python)

Execute the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Start the Visualization Frontend

Start the simple visualization by calling:

python3 main.py

Now your visualization is running and waiting in background for incoming simulation results ✨

Start the Simulation with Visualization output

Start you desired simulation and activate the visualization output in your configuration by setting the field pythonVisualization to true

{

 "globals": {

  "deltaT": 1,
  "steps": 1000,
  "console": true,

   // Add the new field and activate the output
  "pythonVisualization" : true

 }

 // ... your agent, entities and layer mappings

}

If the model is configured from within the Program.cs file, then setting the field EnableSimpleVisualization to true enables the visualization mode.

Globals =

{

  DeltaTUnit = TimeSpanUnit.Seconds,
  Steps = 1000,
  ShowConsoleProgress = true,

  EnableSimpleVisualization = true

}

// ... your agent, entities and layer mappings
