The function simulate.hergm accepts an object of class hergm as argument and simulates networks.
# S3 method for hergm
simulate(object,
nsim = 1,
seed = NULL,
max_number = NULL,
indicator = NULL,
eta = NULL,
sample_size = 1,
verbose = 0,
...)
The function simulate.hergm returns the simulated networks in the form of edge lists.
either object of class hergm or formula of the form network ~ terms; objects of class hergm can be generated by function hergm; network is an object of class network and can be created by calling the function network; possible terms can be found in ergm.terms and hergm.terms.
redundant, but ensures that the simulate method is compatible with the simulate method of R package stats.

maximum number of blocks.
indicators of block memberships of nodes.
ergm.terms and hergm.terms parameters.
number of networks to be simulated.
if verbose == -1, no console output; if verbose == 0, short console output; if verbose == +1, long console output.
additional arguments, to be passed to lower-level functions in the future.
