)

Load the simulation results into memory for repeated reads. This is useful when loading results from remote locations over network connections, when reading the same data very many times, etc. Multiple calls augment the cache according to these rules, where "variable" means "variable, expression, etc.":

• Requests for an already cached variable at a lesser count than already cached do not decrease the count of the cached variable
• Requests for an already cached variable at a greater count than already cached do increase the count of the cached variable
• Requests for new variables are fulfilled without evicting existing variables

Note that count is global across all variables, so increasing the count re-reads already cached variables. For each variable, each element must be the name encoded as a string, like "ActivePowerVariable__ThermalStandard" or a Tuple with its constituent types, like (ActivePowerVariable, ThermalStandard). To clear the cache, use Base.empty!.

• filter_func::Union{Nothing, Function} = nothing: Optional function that accepts an event of type T and returns a Bool. Apply this function to each event and only return events where the result is true.
• wall_time = false: If true, show the wall_time timestamp.

Show all simulation events of type T in a simulation output directory.

Arguments

• ::Type{T}: Recorder event type
• output_dir::AbstractString: Simulation output directory
• filter_func::Union{Nothing, Function} = nothing: Refer to show_recorder_events.
• step::Int = nothing: Filter events by step. Required if model is passed.
• model::Int = nothing: Filter events by model.
• wall_time = false: If true, show the wall_time timestamp.
