The Model class is equipped with several methods that allow you to perform
specific actions on a complete model. The table below summarizes the methods
currently available.
| simulate | Performs a simulation |
| control | Invokes a user-written function (default=CONSUB) to drive the simulation |
| save | Save the complete state of a simulation into an XML file |
| reload | Reload complete state of a simulation at a specific time from a SAVE file |
| reset | Resets the simulation time to zero and prepares solver for a brand new run |
| generate_abcd | Generates a state space representation of the model in the form of state matrices A, B, C, and D in the desired format ('matlab' or 'simulink_mdl') |
| generateOutput | Invokes an external executable that creates plt and animation h3d file |
| generate_eigensolution | Performs an eigen analysis of the model, generates eigenvalues and mode shapes |
