Installing, importing and loading a model.

The standard workflow when starting with a model is to first create the model file, then install the model so that it can be used, and finally loading the model so that it can used.

Installing

Assume that we have a model called model.txt, where the name of the model is model (as defined in the NAME header). To install the model use install_model():

sund.install_model('model.txt')

After installing the model, model objects can be created in two ways:

1. Loading a model object

Once the model has been installed, we can create a model object for the model named model from the installed model using the load_model() function:

sund.load_model('model')

2. Importing the model class, and then creating the model object

The second option involves importing the model class, and then create a model object from that class.

Model = sund.import_model('model')
model = Model()

This is useful when you want to create multiple instances of the same model, e.g. when using the same model but in different compartments:

Model = sund.import_model('model')
model_c1 = Model(compartment="c1")
model_c2 = Model(compartment="c2")
