Graphing the Process Simulation ​

Visualizing the simulation flow can confirm whether processes have been configured correctly. The process_graph method provides a graphical representation of all defined processes and their interconnections.

python
# Generate a visualization of the process layout
simulation.process_graph()

The example below corresponds to the configuration described in the Complete Process Example. When executed, it produces an output similar to:

Graph Image

simulate.process_graph() ​

Additional features are available through the following arguments:

  • graph_direction (str, optional): Determines the graph’s orientation. Possible values are 'LR' (left-to-right) or 'TB' (top-to-bottom). Defaults to 'LR'.
  • save_graph_pdf (bool, optional): Indicates whether the resulting graph should be saved as a PDF file. Defaults to False.

For instance, to generate a top-to-bottom graph and export it as a PDF, include:

python
simulation.process_graph(graph_direction="TB", save_graph_pdf=True)
