pydsol-model 1.0.0

Predefined objects library for a Python discrete-event simulation model (pydsol-core)

pydsol-model : Python Distributed Simulation Object Library with Predefined Model Objects

pydsol-model is a package that includes standard model objects suitable for developing a discrete event simulation model. Standard model objects are source, server using resources, sink, node, link, entity and vehicle. This makes it easy and fast to design discrete event simulation models using queueing theory, useful for teaching, academic research, and commercial use. You can use the standard model objects as is, or use it to make your own objects for more complex simulation models.

pydsol-model is an additional layer on top of pydsol-core, a Python distribution discrete event simulation library. pydsol-core uses a heap queue (priority queue) as eventlist and plans events using a relative delay instead of yield, making it much faster than most discrete event simulation packages implemented in Python. Note that you need pydsol-core (https://github.com/averbraeck/pydsol-core) to use pydsol-model.

This repository is currently under development at Delft University of Technology. If you would like to collaborate, please open an issue/discussion or contact Isabelle van Schilt or Alexander Verbraeck.

Documentation

Documentation for pydsol-model is available at Read the Docs. This includes the description of the theory behind each model object, and a step-by-step explanation of a basic and more advanced example.

Installation and set-up

pydsol-model is available using pip install.:

pip install pydsol-model

For the latest version, please use the URL:

pip install git+https://github.com/imvs95/pydsol-model.git

For setting up pydsol-model and ensuring that the example models can run, pydsol-core also needs to be installed. This is part of the requirements.txt. If you want to install it manually, use:

pip install pydsol-core

The source code of that library can be found at https://github.com/averbraeck/pydsol-core.
