The Output Data

Once a simulation has been run, the following method may be called to write a data file:

>>> Q.write_records_to_file('data/file/location.csv')

This file contains does not contain summary statistics, but all the information that happened during the simulation in raw format. Each time an individual completes service at a service station, a data record of that service is kept. This file contains all these data records for all services of all customers at all nodes during the simulation run time.

The following table summarises the columns:

I.D number	Class	Node	Arrival Date	Waiting Time	Service Start Date	Service Time	Service End Date	Time Blocked	Exit Date
227592	1	0	245.601	0.0	245.601	0.563	246.164	0.0	246.164
411239	0	0	245.633	0.531	246.164	0.608	246.772	0.0	246.772
001195	0	2	247.821	0.0	247.841	1.310	249.151	0.882	250.033

The write_records_to_file method writes a header as default. To disable this feature, input headers=False:

>>> Q.write_records_to_file(<path_to_file>, header=False)
