cadCAD is a Python package that assists in the processes of designing, testing and validating complex systems through simulation, with support for Monte Carlo methods, A/B testing and parameter sweeping.

Getting Started

1. Installation:

Requires Python 3

Option A: Install Using pip

pip3 install cadCAD

Option B: Build From Source

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
pip3 install dist/*.whl

Option C: Using Nix

1. Run curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh or install Nix via system package manager
2. Run nix-shell to enter into a development environment, nix-build to build project from source, and nix-env -if default.nix to install

The above steps will enter you into a Nix development environment, with all package requirements for development of and with cadCAD.

This works with just about all Unix systems as well as MacOS, for pure reproducible builds that don't dirty your local environment.

2. Learn the basics

Tutorials: available both as Jupyter Notebooks and videos

Familiarize yourself with some system modelling concepts and cadCAD terminology.

3. Documentation:

• System Model Configuration
• System Simulation Execution
• Policy Aggregation
• System Model Parameter Sweep

4. Connect
