Get the original input files for the simulation approach

Source: R/Simulation_module_functions.R

Prepares the simulations:

  1. Creates a specific folder (Simulations) in the designated repertory of the stock of interest

  2. Creates two sub folders (True and Runs) in the Simulations folder to store the outputs of the simulations

  3. Reads the original input files that will be modified to simulate the data

prepSim(Dir = NULL, Spc = NULL, verbose = NULL)

Arguments

Spc

(character string)- the name of the stock of interest for the simulations

verbose

(logical)- flag to print processing information

  • Dirlist: named list of the working directory used and/or created,

  • GmacsFile: the gmacs.dat file as a named list,

  • DatFile: the Spc.dat file as a named list,

  • CtlFile: the Spc.ctl file as a named list,

  • PrjFile: the Spc.pj file as a named list,

  • ParFile: the gmacs.par file as a named list,
