sim

Control the state of a remote simulation after it is connected (optional).    

• list: Return information about remote simulations. Each element returned contains three pieces of information; the molecule id, the remote machine name, and the current status. The status is one of:
  • No Connection: remote connection has been disconnected or stopped
  • Running Simulation: connected to an active simulation
• top sim_number: Set the top simulation.
• top: Get the molecule id of top simulation.  
• modify parameter value: Change a parameter for the top simulation. Possible parameters are
  • rate n: Send only every n simulation timesteps.
  • keep n: Keep only every n received timesteps, appended to the animation.
• patch < off | byatom | byload | bynode >: Display the patches from a simulation (if any), coloring them by the specified criteria, for the top simulation.  
• detach sim_number: Detach from a simulation, leaving it running on the remote computer.
• kill sim_number: Kill a simulation.
