Advanced SECG topics
The SECG program is composed of two components, one holds common
functionality the second contains information specific for the simulated model. The
SECG allows the change and extension of the common module - see the EngineBase
options in Simulation | Setup SECG menu. This enables the usage additional
functions/scripts, or performing operations which would normally would be
impossible in the Cell Illustrator, for example saving and using previous values of the
entities.
The source code of the engine generated by SECG can be exported to file in
Java or other languages. The source code file can then be edited, which allows for
better control over the simulation. Also the simulation source code can be integrated
or executed in another program, which is useful for performing parameter
optimization, or generating some advanced statistics from the engine run.
The exact reference for advanced usage, which contains description how the
SECG framework works and detailed information of the content of each source code
file is obtainable from Masao Nagasaki ([email protected] or check
http://www.csml.org).
Note: Profiting from the SECG engine possibilities to the full extent requires some
software development skills.
