cadCAD is a Python package that assists in the processes of designing, testing and validating complex systems through simulation, with support for Monte Carlo methods, A/B testing and parameter sweeping.

Getting Started

Change Log: ver. 0.4.23

Previous Stable Release (No Longer Supported)

0. Pre-installation Virtual Environments with venv (Optional):

If you wish to create an easy to use virtual environment to install cadCAD inside of, please use the built in venv package.

Create a virtual environment:

$ python3 -m venv ~/cadcad

Activate an existing virtual environment:

$ source ~/cadcad/bin/activate
(cadcad) $

Deactivate virtual environment:

(cadcad) $ deactivate
$

1. Installation:

Requires >= Python 3.6

Option A: Install Using pip

$ pip3 install cadCAD

Option B: Build From Source

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
$ pip3 install dist/*.whl

Option C: Using Nix

1. Run curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh or install Nix via system package manager
2. Run nix-shell to enter into a development environment, nix-build to build project from source, and nix-env -if default.nix to install

The above steps will enter you into a Nix development environment, with all package requirements for development of and with cadCAD.

This works with just about all Unix systems as well as MacOS, for pure reproducible builds that don't affect your local environment.

2. Documentation:

• Simulation Configuration
• Simulation Execution
• Policy Aggregation
• Parameter Sweep
• Display System Model Configurations
