Extension classes for running astrophysical simulations using Pisces models.

Pisces models are designed to be exportable to many different simulation / analysis toolkits to enable advanced workflows and extensibility. One such use case is to run full astrophysical simulations using the models defined in Pisces. This package contains extension classes that facilitate running simulations using different simulation codes, such as Gadget and Arepo. These classes handle the conversion of Pisces models into the appropriate initial conditions formats required by the simulation codes, as well as any necessary configuration settings.

The process of running hydrodynamical simulations is somewhat complex and involves many tunable parameters. As such, the simulations extension package is a fairly deep package with multiple submodules. To read more about how things work before jumping in and using these classes, please refer to the documentation page on running simulations with Pisces: Simulations in Pisces.
