calcres: Performs a Simulation of the Model Passed as the Argument

Description

Calculates a dynamic solution of the model defined by the argument and returns a numeric matrix with the volumes and substance and organism concentrations of all reactors at all points in time.

This function integrates the system of ordinary differential equations numerically using the function ode of the package deSolve. The results can be visualized with arbitrary R functions or a summary of all results can be produced with the function

plotres.

Usage

calcres(system,method="lsoda",...)

Value

The function returns a numeric matrix with the volumes and concentrations of substances and organisms of all reactors (columns) for all points in time (rows)

Arguments

system

Object of type system-class that defines the model.

method

Integration algorithm to be used for numerically solving the system of ordinary differential equations. Available algorithms: "lsoda", "lsode", "lsodes", "lsodar", "vode", "daspk", "euler", "rk4", "ode23", "ode45", "radau", "bdf", "bdf_d", "adams", "impAdams", "impAdams_d". See function ode of the package deSolve for more details on the integration algorithms.

...

Further arguments are passed to the solver. See function ode of the package deSolve for more details on the integration algorithms and their control parameters.
