%% Lorenz equations with phase plot
% DynaSim makes it easy to simulate arbitrary systems of ordinary
% differential equations. Simply write out the system in a cell array of
% strings, separating equations into different strings or the same string
% separated by semicolons.
eqns={
's=10; r=27; b=2.666'
'dx/dt=s*(y-x); x(0)=1'

% time_limits: time limits on integration [ms]
% solver: numerical method to use (default: rk4 = "4th-order Runge-Kutta")
% All models are numerically integrated using a DynaSim solver function
% created uniquely for a given model and stored in a directory named
% "solve". The file that solves the system (i.e,. numerically integrates
% it) is stored in data.simulator_options and can be viewed or rerun afterwards:
% edit(data.simulator_options.solve_file)
% Every component of the model is assigned to a "population", and the
% population name (default: 'pop1') is prepended to all variable and
% function names.
% Simulated data can be easily plotted using the resulting data structure:

%% QUICKLY BUILDING LARGE MODELS FROM EXISTING "MECHANISMS"
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Mechanisms are predefined reusable sub-models meant to be incorporated
% in larger complete models. Examples of mechanisms in neuron models include
% ion currents, pumps, etc. Once defined, they can be easily incorporated
% into larger models by simply listing the name of the file containing their
% equations, without the need to re-write any of the mechanism equations.
% This greatly simplifies large model prototyping and re-configuration.

%% SAVING SIMULATED DATA
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% How to: set 'save_data_flag' to 1 and (optionally) 'study_dir' to /path/to/outputs
%% Save data from a single simulation
% Example using the previous sPING model:
data=dsSimulate(s,'save_data_flag',1,'study_dir','demo_sPING_1');
% Tip for saving large data files:
% - By default data is saved in compatible mode between Matlab and Octave ('matCompatibility_flag' set to 1, i.e., data is saved in '-v7' mat format).
% - Unfortunately, '-v7' mat format is not able to save variables > 2GB.
% - If compatible saving fails, data is saved in '-v7.3' format (Matlab), or in '-hdf5' format (Octave). This allows that data can be stored in all its integrity.
% - However, if any var > 2GB is anticipated, we strongly recommend to set 'matCompatibility_flag' manually to 0 to speed up data saving.
% Example using 'matCompatibility_flag' set to 0:
data=dsSimulate(s,'matCompatibility_flag',0,'save_data_flag',1,'study_dir','demo_sPING_1_varlt2GB');
%% Save data from a set of simulations
% Specify what to vary
% Tip: use 'vary' Syntax 2 to systematically vary a parameter
