FAQ

Q: How can I use Sirens to run a hybrid model simulation?

A: Check out the Tutorial, which covers how to set up and run a hybrid simulation between an agent-based model and an ODE system.

Q: What if Sirens doesn't have a component for the type of model I want to use?

A: Check out the Sirens Interface, you can easily define new components for many different simulation tools.

Q: The Tutorial didn't cover what I wanted. Where can I view more examples?

A: In the Examples section of course. We have examples showing all of the more advanced features of Sirens including:

• Duplicated Components and Flexible Duplicated Components,
• surrogate model approximations

Some more complex, unguided examples are available in the examples directory.

Q: Where can I find more detailed information on how XX works?

A: You can likely find what you are looking for in the API. It contains information on timestepping, the component interface, pre-built components and their features (like AgentsComponent).

Q: Is Sirens the right tool for me?

A: That depends on what type of hybrid simulation you are looking to run. Luckily, you can check out Is Sirens right for me? and find out.
