SimCheck: Check the status of the simulation's temporary results
Description
This function reads the temporary file saved by runSimulation
by collapsing the information into a suitable (albeit temporary) object of
class 'SimDesign'. This is useful when taking a quick-peak at how the
early simulation results are performing (useful long running simulation
results with many rows in the Design object). Returns a tibble-based
data.frame object (tbl_df).
Usage
SimCheck(file)
Arguments
file
the temp file currently saving the simulation state. If missing
the file is assumed to be in the current working directory, and start with the
name 'SIMDESIGN-TEMPFILE'
