Identify the correct run_engine_*() function
for your FACTS file.
get_facts_engine(facts_file)Character, name of a FACTS file.
Usually has a *.facts file extension.
Character, the name of a FACTS engine function.
For most cases, it is sufficient to call run_facts(),
or to call run_flfll() followed by run_engine(). But either way,
you will need to know the arguments of the run_engine_*() function
that corresponds to your FACTS file. Even if you are not calling this
run_engine_*() directly, you will need to pass the arguments to ...
in run_facts() or run_engine(). get_facts_engine()
identifies the correct run_engine_*() function so you can open the
help file and read about the arguments, e.g. ?run_engine_contin.
# Can only run if system dependencies are configured:
if (file.exists(Sys.getenv("RFACTS_PATHS"))) {
facts_file <- get_facts_file_example("contin.facts")
out <- run_flfll(facts_file, verbose = FALSE) # Generate param files.
# Find the appropriate FACTS engine function.
get_facts_engine(facts_file)
# Read about the function arguments.
# You can pass these arguments to `...` in `run_facts()`
# or `run_engine()` or just call `run_engine_contin()` directly.
# ?run_engine_contin
# Call the FACTS engine function to run simulations.
# Alternatively, you could just call `run_engine()`.
run_engine_contin(out, n_sims = 1, verbose = FALSE, version = "6.2.5")
# See the results.
