Hi Abed,
Interesting questions -
- Yes, most settings are inherited from the active configset. The most notable exceptions are the states and sensitivities that get logged, and the stop time/output times. So, MaximumWallClock should apply to all simulations for both SimFunction and sbiofit simulations.
- As always, the simulation runs until any of the stop criteria are met. So there’s no concept of “overruling.” If a simulation takes longer than the maximumWallClock time, simulation results are returned for whatever output times have been reached.
- Sbiofit detects when a simulation ends early and returns an objective function value of Inf, so that the optimizer will reject this condition as an optimum. Using a maximumWallClock time for sbiofit is generally a good idea to avoid the ODE solver getting stuck on implausible simulation results.
Best,
Sietse
