On the use of the R-functions
We now propose to use Simulx via R-functions. The package lixoftConnectors provides access to the project exactly in the same way as you would do with the interface. All the installation guidelines and initialization procedure can be found here. All the functions are described below.

- defineOutputElement: Define a new output element.
- definePopulationElement: Define a new population element.
- defineRegressorElement: Define a new regression element.
- defineTreatmentElement: Define a new treatment element.
- deleteElement: Delete an element of any type.
- getCovariateElements: Get the list of all available covariate elements for the exploration and simulation.
- getIndividualElements: Get the list of all available individual elements for the exploration and simulation.
- getOccasionElements: Get the list of the occasion element for the simulation.

- setPreferences: Set the value of one or several of the project preferences.
- setProjectSettings: Set the value of one or several of the settings of the project.
Examples
Handling of warning/error/info messages
Error, warning and info messages from Monolix are displayed in the R console when performing actions on a monolix project. They can be hidden via the R options. Set lixoft_notificationOptions$errors, lixoft_notificationOptions$warnings and lixoft_notificationOptions$info to 1 or 0 to respectively hide or show the messages.
Example
op = options() op$lixoft_notificationOptions$warnings = 1 #hide the warning messages options(op)
