Running the Model

The RESPOND model, in addition to forming the basis for the Simdemics library, acts as a completely independent executable model. This model was designed to track state transitions to study opioid use disorder.

Using the Executable

Running RESPOND is incredibly simple provided you use our packaged executable. If built using the "gcc-release" workflow outlined in the Installation Section the following command runs the executable from the root of the repository on input folder 1:

./build/extras/executable/respond_exe /path/to/input/folders 1 1

Arguments

The executable takes 3 straightforward positional arguments that govern the input folder location, the starting input folder and the end input folder inclusively. Thus, if you only have a single input folder titled input1 located at /home/usr/ you would provide the arguments: /home/usr/ 1 1. If you have multiple input folders (i.e. input1, input2, and input3) you would provide: /home/usr/ 1 3.
