BaseSimulation.pre_build(self)

Pre-build performs some common setup routine that should be applicable to any deriving simulation class. This method performs the following tasks:

• Checks if the signal frequency (fsig) is changing and if its value is None. If so, it sets a default value of 1 Hz.

• Creates a list of all the changing parameters in the simulation.

• Creates a set of tunable parameters from the changing parameters.

• Determines if signal computation is required based on the value of fsig.f. Sets self.compute_signals

• Determines if the simulation is modal or not. Sets self.is_modal

• Initializes the model settings

• Initializes the simulation configuration data.

• Generates carrier frequencies based on the model.

• Initializes the trace forest if the simulation is modal.

• Determines the changing beam parameters if the simulation is modal.
